  We here at Big Benny's wanted to address the rumors that have
• 0:03
  gone around since our announcement of fresh stock of
• 0:07
  our noodles. We do not, and we will state
• 0:10
  this again, we do not use random human body parts in order to
• 0:15
  manufacture our noodles. That that kind of salacious
• 0:19
  rumor is wrong and we will not stand for it.
• 0:24
  Big Benny Noodles chooses the finest human body parts in order
• 0:28
  to make after their noodles premium.
• 0:31
  You will be getting the finest human derived protein that you
• 0:35
  can find in the verse. Thank you.

• 1:23
  subscribe. Let us know how much you enjoy
• 1:26
  or hate the show. Yeah, share it either way.
• 1:30
  We'll share it either way. We'll read it on the What is
• 1:33
  this on on Air? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37
  We'll read it on a on micro fiber.
• 1:40
  What is it called? The Lightspeed cables.
• 1:44
  Yeah, yeah, on fiber optic. Fiber optic.
• 1:46
  We'll read it live on Fiber Optic Baby.
• 1:49
  I don't think any of our listeners can afford fiber, I'll
• 1:51
  be honest. That's true.
• 1:53
  That's true. You know, Speaking of listeners
• 1:56
  who can't afford things, I was thinking we should start a kick.
• 2:00
  We should get on kick there and get the, get them, get them.
• 2:03
  The list on here. I get the Kickstarters on the
• 2:06
  kick. So we're so we're gonna become
• 2:08
  official grifters. Is that the plan?
• 2:10
  Well, I was thinking about it. There's a lot of money in that.
• 2:14
  A lot of money in that you want. Maybe maybe a a gold No, we came
• 2:18
  to a gold 1A platinum phone you. Could do platinum phone.
• 2:21
  I was just thinking jpegs. Just straight jpegs, Yeah, just
• 2:24
  jpegs. That would be, that would be
• 2:26
  much easier. We'll use better overhead to
• 2:29
  make. The Jpegs.
• 2:31
  Yeah. And we'll get, we'll just start
• 2:34
  raking in the cash and then you know what we'll do with that
• 2:36
  cash. What?
• 2:37
  What? Well, what?
• 2:38
  I don't know. We'll.
• 2:39
  Reinvest it. Drugs.
• 2:43
  And, well, if Star Citizen is a drug.
• 2:46
  Then which may be ships, we're going to buy ships.
• 2:50
  Are we going to buy ships at Defense Con?
• 2:52
  Maybe. Look, I was when I it came up
• 2:59
  and we talked about the topic for this week together, but like
• 3:01
  when when I had that thought, the Misk, what is it?
• 3:07
  The Starliner. Starlight did not exist.
• 3:09
  Starlight, the humpback whale, did not.
• 3:13
  Exist. So are you you excited about
• 3:15
  that? I'm dude, the only thing that
• 3:19
  upsets me is that it's a refueling ship.
• 3:22
  Right, right. That was my question, yeah.
• 3:24
  Bro, the the way that thing looks, the obnoxious whale like
• 3:30
  like they did such a good job with the underbelly of that
• 3:33
  thing. Like Oh my gosh.
• 3:35
  And I I also the, my problem with the misk cockpit is not the
• 3:38
  same problem everybody else has with the mis cockpit.
• 3:42
  I don't like that. It's like a steering wheel.
• 3:45
  Oh, you do? Every time I see a spaceship.
• 3:48
  Steering yoke. No I hate every time I see a
• 3:51
  spaceship like that. I'm like that is not how you
• 3:53
  want to fly a spaceship. Like you want 2 sticks.
• 3:57
  Even if you're using foot pedals or whatever, you can do one
• 3:59
  stick the the steering wheel thing.
• 4:03
  It doesn't have to make sense. Look, when when Han Solo was
• 4:05
  steering the Millennium Falcon, do you remember what he was
• 4:07
  using? He did, did isn't it?
• 4:10
  Has a steering wheel yoke thing right?
• 4:12
  I think and it's got like just all sorts of like stupid giant
• 4:16
  switches, like not even a switch.
• 4:18
  It's like a, it's like a stick sticking out of the out of the
• 4:21
  cockpit and he just kind of like pushes it around and, and that
• 4:24
  apparently does stuff. Yeah, to recalibrate the Watson
• 4:27
  Majiga. Yeah, yeah, the Watson Majiga I
• 4:29
  I like when sci-fi doesn't make sense sometimes.
• 4:33
  Well, to be fair, not to get everyone's paintings on, but
• 4:35
  Star Wars isn't sci-fi. Well, OK, to be fair.
• 4:39
  Hey, where's my intro? I don't think I was even
• 4:41
  introduced. Why do no.
• 4:43
  One knows who's speaking right now.
• 4:44
  You know why? Because you just, you just
• 4:46
  fucking started talking. I did.
• 4:48
  Yeah, we have to redo the whole thing now.
• 4:52
  No, I don't think we should do that.
• 4:53
  I think this is this is indicative of how we roll,
• 4:55
  right? Now radio I'm your host jar jar.
• 4:58
  Brony. And I'm here with my good friend
• 5:00
  and friend of your mother's Duke, later the second Duke.
• 5:03
  How you doing today? I'm doing good jar jar.
• 5:06
  Thank you for asking. Oh, thank you for being here,
• 5:09
  Duke. That was really national.
• 5:11
  Happy to have you, Duke. This week's question What if
• 5:16
  defense Con blows? Well, as I said to you when you
• 5:20
  asked me the first time, yeah, but what if defense con blows?
• 5:26
  Is this another? Is this?
• 5:27
  Is this a a white powder reference?
• 5:29
  What are you talking about here? I, I mean it because it could
• 5:32
  be, you know, it could be a good blow, could be a good blow.
• 5:34
  We don't know. I, I think that it, it looks
• 5:37
  exciting. It's interesting the way CIG is
• 5:41
  doing it this year where they're kind of giving us the quote UN
• 5:44
  quote sneak peek, which is really just showing us exactly
• 5:46
  what the ships are going to be. And I, I, maybe I'm crazy.
• 5:51
  Obviously I've been huffing too much opium, but I'm like, if
• 5:53
  they're just showing us this stuff instead of keeping it to
• 5:56
  the last second, maybe that means that there's still a lot a
• 5:59
  lot don't keep. There's a lot more to count.
• 6:00
  You know, they're like obvious to protect the.
• 6:03
  Listeners. We've got so much stuff out
• 6:05
  there. We're just gonna show them this
• 6:06
  stuff and they're gonna be like, oh, this is so cool.
• 6:09
  And they're gonna be like, yeah, but just wait.
• 6:11
  Boom. And and there's gonna be other.
• 6:14
  Cool stuff. You're setting yourself up for
• 6:15
  disappointment. I am.
• 6:17
  I'm gonna be really disappointed.
• 6:19
  I'm I'm waiting for lots of news, lots of exciting things.
• 6:24
  And instead it's just going to be like the same ships they've
• 6:28
  already said in in a in a hall that I'll look at for 5 minutes
• 6:33
  and then I won't buy any and then I'll be disappointed.
• 6:37
  But that'll be your. Fault.
• 6:39
  Well, look man, to top it off, people are saying that the 4.8
• 6:43
  patch, which is the patch that Defence Khan is coming in with,
• 6:46
  is buggy as all hell. So yeah, neat.
• 6:51
  So yeah, I mean really, the whole thing we could be headed
• 6:56
  straight for. I wouldn't say like a disaster,
• 6:58
  I don't want to be hyperbolic or anything, but it could totally
• 7:01
  blow like all the ships we already know.
• 7:03
  There's not going to be any surprises, even though they have
• 7:05
  a cool miss refueling ship. It could just.
• 7:09
  It could could be. Is there going to be a gameplay
• 7:12
  for them? I mean, I know there's supposed
• 7:13
  to be some gameplay for it, but is it going to function?
• 7:18
  You know, that's that's the real question.
• 7:20
  I think hopefully some of our callers have maybe played the
• 7:25
  the patch in the PTU and could enlighten us in some of the
• 7:27
  gameplay coming in 4.8. You know, if there's really any,
• 7:32
  if there's. Really any.
• 7:34
  So I mean, before I bring up this 1st guest, anything you
• 7:37
  want to tell our listeners Duke? Any any updates you want to
• 7:40
  make? You know, I, I actually played
• 7:43
  the game yesterday, which I hadn't done in a while.
• 7:48
  And just to give you a, a recap, I decided I'm going to start
• 7:51
  grinding some hauling missions. So I took a mission.
• 7:55
  I landed. For who?
• 7:56
  Who you be hauling? It was.
• 7:57
  It was Citizens for Prosperity. I was going to.
• 8:01
  I would. I certainly would.
• 8:03
  And I, no, no, that's who they are.
• 8:08
  No, no, I don't. I don't, I don't agree with
• 8:10
  that. But anyway, I, I, I got where I
• 8:13
  was going. I got down in my elevator and as
• 8:16
  soon as the elevator touched the ground, somebody murdered me.
• 8:21
  That was my play session. I was like, all right.
• 8:23
  You got sniped. No, they just, they would like
• 8:26
  run around. They just ran up and they were
• 8:28
  like poo poo. And then I was dead.
• 8:30
  And then I talked. I tried talking to him.
• 8:32
  They didn't want to talk to me. Folks, if you're gonna gank
• 8:35
  someone at at least get on, you know, get on proximity chat and
• 8:41
  and tell them, yeah, I don't know, tell them why.
• 8:44
  Yeah, write something down. Yeah, let us know.
• 8:47
  Even, you know, make fun of them.
• 8:48
  Just make fun of them if you want, yeah.
• 8:51
  Teabag them, don't just kill them and let them go.
• 8:55
  Crouch that's that's all I got. Oh, OK, well, I haven't been
• 9:00
  playing much to be honest. This week.
• 9:01
  I log in and I'm like nothing. I you know how they said they
• 9:05
  put in those delivery missions? Yes, that's right.
• 9:09
  They did not. There are no delivery missions
• 9:13
  at all in Nick's anywhere. That was a lie.
• 9:17
  They are full of it, as they would say.
• 9:20
  So it really, you know, I like doing those little boxes and
• 9:23
  those little deliveries and just zipping around here.
• 9:27
  The the only kind of in game Guild that I really am
• 9:31
  interested in is FTL at the moment.
• 9:33
  And that's because there is no information on them.
• 9:37
  I'm going to. Yeah, I'm going to grind this up
• 9:40
  and then that's my plan anyway. And then when they finally like
• 9:43
  have a thing, I'll, I'll be like a, you know, a big contractor
• 9:48
  with them and then. I'll you're going to find out
• 9:49
  that they're just like straight up fascist murderers.
• 9:52
  Yeah, whatever dude. If that's.
• 9:54
  How it goes, that's how it goes. All the boxes you've been
• 9:56
  delivering, those are human heads, yeah.
• 10:00
  What's medical clause? That's so funny because a lot of
• 10:04
  them are labeled food. Well, everything's, you know,
• 10:08
  it's all about perspective. It's all based on your point of
• 10:10
  view. Well, this next guy wrote in to
• 10:13
  chat. Duke.
• 10:15
  He called you an incredible professional, he said.
• 10:18
  Incredible professionalism, Duke.
• 10:20
  So. Awesome.
• 10:22
  Thank you. Yeah.
• 10:23
  Yeah, Yep. Let's have bring him on up and
• 10:25
  see if he means it. It is cosmic hobo.
• 10:28
  Cosmic hobo. Welcome to Star Citizen, your
• 10:31
  Star Citizen call in show. If anybody wants to call, you
• 10:34
  can just join our discord in and come on in and call in Wednesday
• 10:37
  nights at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
• 10:40
  And every week we have a question.
• 10:42
  This week's question What if defence Con blows?
• 10:47
  So it's called Star Citizen, the Star Citizen call in show.
• 10:52
  Oh, what is that what I said? Yeah, I.
• 10:55
  Don't think that's what it's called.
• 10:57
  Can I start changing the graphics?
• 10:58
  Can I just say today I, I did a lot of talking all day.
• 11:03
  I was like, I had, I had like tutoring and then I entertained
• 11:07
  people and now I'm here entertaining you all.
• 11:10
  So. You are.
• 11:13
  You are the entertainer. And I started drinking Ying Ling
• 11:18
  because I just needed the carbs liquid dinner tonight.
• 11:23
  The mega beer. No.
• 11:25
  Is it? Is it?
• 11:26
  Yeah. That's such a.
• 11:28
  That's such a foreign name, though.
• 11:30
  It's also, isn't it like a Pennsylvania beer?
• 11:33
  It is, but you, OK, It's you. You got to see some large parts
• 11:37
  of Pennsylvania. Yeah, Pennsylvania.
• 11:40
  I've heard. I've heard.
• 11:41
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:42
  Well. Oh yeah, you're.
• 11:44
  Telling me that I have a sorry. So you know what?
• 11:47
  No, no, it's. OK, new show.
• 11:50
  We're going on Kicker. We're going to be called Give Me
• 11:53
  Your Money radio. Right.
• 11:56
  That's the plan. That's that's an entrepreneurial
• 11:59
  spirit, the entrepreneurial spirit that built America.
• 12:03
  Cosmic. But what if defense con blows?
• 12:07
  Well, since it's Drake I like by default, it's going to suck so.
• 12:13
  100%. I mean, but in a good way.
• 12:17
  That's already implied. You could say Drake is the mega
• 12:20
  of developers. No.
• 12:23
  No, I don't know how you get that Crusader.
• 12:27
  It would be Crusader. No, Crusader is too.
• 12:30
  Clean. No Crusader is the worst.
• 12:32
  They're called Crusader. But they donate, like most of
• 12:38
  their proceeds. Bro, that is a OK, let me tell
• 12:42
  you how the world works. That is a oh.
• 12:44
  You're saying it's it's tax evasion.
• 12:46
  Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I'm saying they're not
• 12:48
  doing out of the kindness they have in the books.
• 12:50
  Crusader obviously has some Christian nationalist agenda
• 12:53
  that you all just haven't figured out yet.
• 12:55
  And you're like, oh, these sheeps are so sleek.
• 12:57
  No dude, no, I understand. Weird pig of the Hercules,
• 13:03
  right? Jar Jar, I feel like you have an
• 13:04
  axe to grind tonight. Hobo answer the question.
• 13:09
  Sorry, I did it it by default it will suck because it's Drake,
• 13:17
  but I do appreciate CIG trying to break the mold a little bit
• 13:20
  and be a little different. Unfortunately, it's Drake I, and
• 13:25
  it's also very unfortunate that Drake is like the only
• 13:30
  manufacturer they've truly given much character to.
• 13:35
  True. It's if you really all the
• 13:38
  others are mostly faceless entities, whereas they they have
• 13:44
  a they have the literal CEO of Drake being the front man for
• 13:48
  this because. Well, hold on, I I can I push?
• 13:52
  Hold on. OK, go ahead.
• 13:53
  There is one other, there is another.
• 13:56
  There is another. You know who it is,
• 14:01
  consolidated. Outlet.
• 14:03
  Yeah. All right.
• 14:04
  Well, yeah. They.
• 14:05
  They had a whole thing with. 3. Ships that.
• 14:08
  OK thank you, let's rant. New topic.
• 14:11
  Why does the edgy hate consolidated Outland?
• 14:14
  Because it's like the EV company of the verse.
• 14:18
  It's an up and Comer that's done like a weird selection of ships.
• 14:25
  I think it's going to get a huge amount of love once they're
• 14:28
  close to releasing the pioneer right, 'cause they're, they're
• 14:32
  creating tons of assets for them.
• 14:34
  So I'm sure we're going to see like some other medium like
• 14:38
  industrial crafts or small industrial crafts.
• 14:41
  I I think so. I I have to agree.
• 14:43
  I think they will pump up the number of consolidate.
• 14:47
  We know there's one consolidated out land ship coming.
• 14:52
  The. Forge.
• 14:52
  Yeah, the forge, Yeah, like other than the pioneer, of
• 14:56
  course, but. So is consolidated outlaying
• 14:59
  going to be like just like for builders, like they have the
• 15:02
  Nomad and they have the, the hover quad and I guess the, the,
• 15:07
  the, what do you call it, the startership?
• 15:11
  The one that no, I think they might.
• 15:12
  I think they might lean that way.
• 15:14
  They have an oddball selection. Right, but like it well, I'm
• 15:18
  just saying those three like they can have those three and
• 15:21
  there's everything else be base building ships because basically
• 15:24
  the the nomad is like a pickup truck.
• 15:27
  So you it can kind of fit in that like realm, you know what I
• 15:30
  mean? And the hover quad is really
• 15:32
  hefty. So I could see that as like a
• 15:35
  quad like A to pull and drag things like on a.
• 15:40
  On a it means more for purpose. Yeah, like the Hover Quad it it
• 15:44
  doesn't have its niche. Every other bike right now has a
• 15:48
  niche. Yeah.
• 15:50
  Poland is the smallest and has a gun.
• 15:52
  Isn't it just a different ways to bounce off of something and
• 15:56
  explode? Yes, but that's not a niche.
• 15:58
  That's the they all do that. Like, come on, that's.
• 16:01
  Not yeah, but it but in different ways.
• 16:04
  But they all have their own flavor.
• 16:06
  Their own flavor of incredibly dangerous contraptions.
• 16:10
  Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
• 16:13
  Yeah. Like you can do it in style in
• 16:15
  the X1 and maybe have a shield that does nothing to prevent the
• 16:19
  rock on the ground from blowing you up, right.
• 16:23
  But yeah, consolidate Outland is sort of the oddball out because
• 16:27
  even Kruger's now getting a bunch of ships, like we're
• 16:30
  getting another Kruger ship before we even get another
• 16:35
  consolidated Outland ship. The Stingray.
• 16:38
  Stingray. So it is defence con, a lot of
• 16:41
  fighters obviously, which is like OK.
• 16:46
  I'm so done. How?
• 16:47
  Many more fighters. Are we going to, you know, make
• 16:50
  here. I know we got heavy fighters and
• 16:51
  medium fighters, but that portion of the of the ship, what
• 16:59
  do you call it, Rolex, What do you call it?
• 17:01
  Is that what it is? Line up.
• 17:04
  The ship line up Rolodex is what I was thinking that that portion
• 17:07
  of the ship Rolodex is quite full.
• 17:10
  You know what I mean? Fighters and that sort of stuff.
• 17:12
  And then you do have the other the explorers and and the
• 17:16
  refuellers. We are getting a refuelling ship
• 17:18
  finally a a missed one. But yeah, it's kind of
• 17:23
  disappointing to see like just more Drake and RSI and stuff.
• 17:27
  Always disappointed by more Drake.
• 17:30
  Yeah, we don't need more Drake. We have too many Drake ships,
• 17:33
  all right. So cosmic hobo will defense con
• 17:38
  blow? No, it'll probably be amazing
• 17:44
  and be gangbusters and wow, all the ships will sell well and.
• 17:49
  Yeah, but wouldn't you be happy? No.
• 17:52
  Well, we're getting a new Origin ship, so and it's a heavy
• 17:58
  fighter and it looks yeah. I mean, if it if it wasn't for
• 18:03
  that my I would absolutely have said yeah, fuck it, I don't
• 18:06
  care. There's nothing that will
• 18:07
  probably be released that I care of, but.
• 18:11
  They're releasing a COD piece though.
• 18:15
  A what? A COD piece I.
• 18:18
  Don't know what that is. Oh COD piece is.
• 18:22
  You you use it to defend Your honor.
• 18:27
  Well, it was so it was something that they wore like in medieval
• 18:31
  times to make it just make it look like you had a a really big
• 18:36
  Janet tail. Johnson And it was, yeah, piece
• 18:38
  of armor that kind of hung out there.
• 18:40
  Johnson So people looked over and they're like, whoa, check
• 18:43
  out the Dick on that guy. Yeah, yeah.
• 18:47
  I think that's what it looks like.
• 18:49
  Yeah, well, Speaking of someone with a large member, we do have
• 18:53
  another caller with his hand up down in the waiting room before
• 18:57
  I bring this guy up though. Yeah.
• 18:59
  Reminder about raising your hand to everyone down there, but
• 19:01
  before I I bring this guy up, we do have, I think possibly an
• 19:06
  advertisement from our local sponsor.
• 19:12
  Yes, yes we do. And in fact, this is actually a
• 19:17
  another ad sent to us by Big Benny's.
• 19:19
  They they wanted us to read it personally and it and it says we
• 19:24
  here at Big Benny's wanted to address the rumors that have
• 19:27
  gone around since our announcement of fresh stock of
• 19:32
  our noodles. We do not, and we will state
• 19:38
  this again, we do not use random human body parts in order to
• 19:43
  manufacture our noodles. That is that that kind of
• 19:48
  salacious rumor is wrong and we will not stand for it.
• 19:53
  Big Benny Noodles chooses the finest human body parts in order
• 19:58
  to make their noodles premium. There is no bullets.
• 20:03
  There are no fragments of shrapnel or any type of entrails
• 20:09
  whatsoever. You will be getting the finest
• 20:12
  human derived protein that you can find in the verse.
• 20:16
  Thank you. There you go, big Benny noodles.
• 20:19
  Slurp it up. I I want to see the marbling on
• 20:22
  that human protein. This is Opencoms Radio, your
• 20:28
  Star Citizen call in show. We meet every week.
• 20:30
  You know how it goes. Every week we do have a
• 20:32
  question, and every week we have guests.
• 20:34
  Our special guest, special call it.
• 20:36
  He's not a special guest. You're here.
• 20:37
  What am I talking about? I'm not hitting it today, do
• 20:39
  you? You're not.
• 20:40
  Special Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
• 20:46
  wait. Dialed out our totally not
• 20:49
  special, ordinary, everyday mundane guest.
• 20:53
  Wow, Lord Lord Anubis, Lord Anubis, our our question this
• 20:56
  evening. What if defense con blows?
• 20:59
  Or or if you prefer, What if defense con blows?
• 21:04
  Blows who? That just dealer's story.
• 21:08
  It's a matter of time, apparently.
• 21:10
  Someone in order to be able to to, to be the event and just,
• 21:15
  you know, bury. Everything else.
• 21:17
  But anyways, you know, we could talk about, you know, UEE Senate
• 21:22
  members of the future. So what if it blows?
• 21:29
  I don't think it's going to it. I mean, I don't really think
• 21:34
  that they're going to pass up these opportunities anymore.
• 21:37
  I mean, past convent, well, conventions, whatever in the
• 21:41
  game have always been something to announce something major.
• 21:45
  I mean, most notably, you know, the Idris, which was, you know,
• 21:49
  that that's a game changer. And they're looking to do that
• 21:52
  again this time. So I think it's gonna be pretty
• 21:54
  fun. I think it's gonna be great.
• 21:57
  Right, fun and great. Yeah.
• 22:00
  I mean, if it blows, I'll abandoned them forever and say
• 22:03
  it was 15 years wasted and just like, angry and I'll just.
• 22:08
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, wow.
• 22:11
  I mean, not maybe not as mad as her, but you know what?
• 22:14
  Is something they could do for you where you would be like,
• 22:16
  that's it, I'm I'm done. Oh, that I'd be done.
• 22:21
  Yeah. They could cancel my everything
• 22:26
  and then take all of their pledge money and just say you
• 22:29
  don't get to play the game that that would that would be make
• 22:31
  me. That's that's what it would
• 22:32
  take, huh? Well, I, I mean, at this point
• 22:35
  they've got enough credit going on.
• 22:37
  I mean, they, they, they've been doing good.
• 22:39
  Well, there, look at there are developers and stuff who do that
• 22:42
  shit. Ubisoft erased my Assassin's
• 22:45
  Creed. Was it for a Black Flag?
• 22:48
  I was playing that game and I was like, oh, I'm going to go
• 22:51
  back into that. Oh yeah, everything's gone.
• 22:53
  I could try to get it. I don't know what the hell
• 22:54
  happened. Found out it's a thing.
• 22:56
  It's like a thing that Ubisoft is doing is just erasing
• 22:58
  people's data. Because they're going to sell
• 23:01
  the the recent repackaged, slightly upgraded version of
• 23:07
  that same game. Actually looks really good.
• 23:10
  I hate to I. Hate to say that I know.
• 23:12
  I'm sorry. I hate the fucking the original
• 23:15
  and I gave them no. Credit for this.
• 23:17
  The original game was good, so obviously a slightly enhanced
• 23:21
  version of that same game. You're going to go, oh, that
• 23:24
  looks good. I'm going to give them my money
• 23:26
  again for the same game. It it.
• 23:28
  Looks, well, it's. So good like.
• 23:31
  But you know, it'd be cool if they did that with Skyrim.
• 23:35
  Hey, why don't you fucking see yourself out, OK?
• 23:38
  And the door's right over there. Put in here, you're fucking
• 23:40
  pissing me off. I told my brother, I said.
• 23:43
  I said that game came out 15 years ago.
• 23:45
  You got to let it go. And there was like a short
• 23:48
  moment of silence and he was just like.
• 23:52
  No, man. He's like, I needed to hear
• 23:54
  that. Unlike you, Josh, who's playing,
• 23:57
  who's playing a game that still hasn't come out 15 years later.
• 24:01
  Yeah, fair fairpoint. And excuse me and excuse me,
• 24:05
  because sometimes there are things you don't let go because
• 24:07
  they were that good. And 23 years ago there was a
• 24:11
  game called Star Wars Galaxies. And there we go.
• 24:13
  I knew it. I knew the.
• 24:15
  Crowning Jewel of Sig to turn this game into it and I am so
• 24:18
  excited. No, they started, they started
• 24:20
  upset an interview that they're not doing that.
• 24:23
  Yeah, well. They're lying.
• 24:25
  I had to. I had to find the interview with
• 24:27
  the spot it. Was like 2 weeks ago.
• 24:28
  It wasn't even long ago they did.
• 24:30
  Say they're taking cues from Star Wars Galaxies.
• 24:33
  Yeah, but he said, they said they were like, oh, look, some
• 24:35
  people want us to turn into Star Wars Galaxy.
• 24:37
  Like we're not doing that. Something like that.
• 24:40
  I should, I should have, I should have clipped it, 'cause I
• 24:42
  was like, Oh yeah, fuck you. Fuck you, Anubis.
• 24:44
  They're just, they're just trying to calm down the
• 24:46
  investors. They're like, oh, we're not
• 24:47
  gonna remake a game. It's like, yeah, no, no, no,
• 24:50
  we're totally not gonna do that. Well, look, they're definitely
• 24:52
  not going to remake Star Wars Galaxies and I think just.
• 24:57
  Yeah, you don't know that. One, I mean, come on, I, I, I
• 25:00
  think we're pretty far from that.
• 25:02
  I think look, there's a lot that we want, you know, this game to
• 25:06
  do and this game to be in this game to have.
• 25:08
  And there are those in the community and those who who seem
• 25:13
  to think that CIG is holding back the floodgates.
• 25:18
  Yeah. So one of those people could be
• 25:19
  Duke, Duke Lado here, who at the beginning, top of the show, kind
• 25:23
  of. Now and then you have opposite
• 25:26
  thinkers, me Jar Jar Jar Broni, who just can't be heard again.
• 25:33
  Lord Anubis, where do you sit on the scale of reckless optimism
• 25:38
  and cautious cautionism? Good job, wordsmith.
• 25:46
  Reckless optimism or cautious cautionism?
• 25:50
  Well reckless optimism is is already stating that someone
• 25:54
  being optimistic is is in a delusional state and therefore
• 25:57
  her in the community so. Wow.
• 26:02
  And then don't get me wrong, there are some people like that,
• 26:05
  because if Sig only listened to people like that, then the game
• 26:08
  would barely get anywhere. You know, there, there, there's
• 26:12
  a certain amount of criticism that needs to be had.
• 26:14
  And there are some people who just don't let an inch.
• 26:18
  But right now, yeah, no square in the middle.
• 26:23
  Honestly, they, they're doing a good job.
• 26:26
  And I don't think there's going to be floodgates because things
• 26:30
  have been happening at a fairly good pace so far.
• 26:33
  I mean, it's, it's not anything that you know, I, I think, you
• 26:38
  know, they're holding back on at all.
• 26:40
  What do you make well? What do you make of these ships?
• 26:44
  They're releasing the ships now, the jpegs of of these ships.
• 26:49
  Basically it looks like they're going to announce everything
• 26:53
  before the defence con that's coming out.
• 26:56
  Do you think there's more like that?
• 26:59
  They literally have kept from us that they've been able to keep
• 27:02
  out of the the patches and the PTU and, and everything that
• 27:05
  they're going to release or that's it.
• 27:08
  No, I think that's it. They, they, you know, surprises
• 27:13
  are are are are waiting for Citizen Khan.
• 27:17
  But that's the surprise I'm waiting for.
• 27:19
  I, I think they're gonna announce it during, during
• 27:21
  defense, Khan. Oh yeah, along with.
• 27:24
  Squadron 42. I mean, no, not with Squadron 42
• 27:28
  that that'll be. No, no.
• 27:28
  As of the announcement for the announcement like.
• 27:30
  Maybe. Right.
• 27:31
  Yeah, a date. A date of some kind.
• 27:33
  Maybe a date? Maybe.
• 27:36

  Yes. Maybe a couple semicolons in
• 29:02
  there. Really.
• 29:04
  Gotta breathe when you're ranting.
• 29:05
  Yeah, yeah. Speaking of someone who can't
• 29:07
  remember to breathe when he rants, our our next guest is
• 29:10
  Wicket. Wicket, thank you for joining
• 29:11
  Open Comms Radio. Your Star Citizen call in show.
• 29:14
  It is a Star Citizen call in show, believe it or not.
• 29:16
  And every week we have a question.
• 29:17
  And this week Wicket. Our question is what if defense
• 29:21
  Con blows? Citizens.
• 29:25
  Long time listener, occasional caller.
• 29:28
  It's not occasional anymore. Go ahead.
• 29:31
  First thing I want to address, Hobo Hobo actually lead the
• 29:36
  whole show. Unbelievable.
• 29:40
  Wait, say it. Wait.
• 29:41
  He leads the show. He actually leads.
• 29:46
  He actually actually. You misspoke earlier and you
• 29:49
  called it a Star Citizen, Star Citizen show or some shit like
• 29:52
  that and he corrected. Oh, or is it?
• 29:54
  No anyway. Oba walked out here and pushed
• 29:57
  the. Glasses up his nose.
• 29:59
  I thought it was over the top and unnecessary.
• 30:01
  Actually. I did almost start up OBS to run
• 30:05
  this because I was worried Georgia was late tonight.
• 30:08
  You don't have to. Don't fucking tell him how the
• 30:10
  sausage is made, dude. Hey, you know.
• 30:12
  Hey, anyone watching would've seen that looking at the crowd.
• 30:15
  Making of sausage. This whole thing of Benny's and
• 30:20
  and and their ingredients is starting to get more and more
• 30:24
  medieval, starting to sound fantasy.
• 30:27
  Sword and boardy and and guilty no.
• 30:31
  Quite the opposite. Where do you think your regen
• 30:33
  goo comes from? You think that biological matter
• 30:35
  is made of nothing. Oh.
• 30:39
  Saffron oil or some shit like that.
• 30:42
  Yeah, saffron oil. Tallow.
• 30:44
  And some crystals. They've been, they've been
• 30:47
  recycling the same people for like 100 years or so just and
• 30:51
  all the. People.
• 30:53
  People are made of people. The the, the thing about the
• 30:58
  defense con, it's I don't know, man.
• 31:02
  Sometimes I some moments I'm worried, some moments I'm I'm
• 31:06
  excited about it. I started looking at it.
• 31:08
  It's like I think this event in game and out of game I think
• 31:13
  this is the most flyable ships ever released at once.
• 31:16
  Am I wrong about that? I know.
• 31:20
  Well, OK. Flyable.
• 31:21
  Yeah, no, Flyable. Yeah, you're right.
• 31:22
  Flyable. I think it's Flyable is the most
• 31:24
  that they've ever released at once that for purchase right
• 31:29
  now. Of course, there's all this
• 31:32
  rumors about, well, maybe they're going to be announcing
• 31:35
  Squadron during this thing and what, you know, fine, what if
• 31:42
  now, just hear me out, this is the half full glass.
• 31:45
  What if they're hedging their bets?
• 31:47
  They're releasing all this shit, they're going to release this
• 31:50
  battle cruiser for thousands of dollars.
• 31:53
  What if they know they got a big turd on their hand with Squadron
• 31:56
  42 and they need to? Squeeze all they can out of us
• 31:59
  now. Join me.
• 32:01
  How dare you? I mean that's just my half full,
• 32:04
  but I I my half empty. That's your half full I.
• 32:09
  Mean, what's your half empty then?
• 32:10
  My goodness. Chris Roberts is No, I'm not
• 32:13
  going to say it. My half, my half, my half empty
• 32:17
  is Chris and and his. Don't don't say the name.
• 32:22
  Divorce. I love you.
• 32:25
  And she takes half the company and.
• 32:27
  Decides to make. Some kind of Pokémon game?
• 32:29
  No, she takes half the company She.
• 32:31
  She takes the commander. Awesome.
• 32:36
  She takes Arena Commander and she makes it arena and she makes
• 32:39
  it a like a real thing. The that's the other thing.
• 32:41
  The other thing about this whole defense Con thing is that I've
• 32:44
  been trying. I'm not super hard to try to
• 32:47
  avoid a lot of. You're not super hard.
• 32:51
  Me neither. No, not the.
• 32:52
  Moment I knew someone's gonna jump on that one.
• 32:57
  But I've been trying to avoid all the information about it.
• 33:00
  You know, I, I, I wanted to be excited about when the doors
• 33:04
  open and walk in with the crew and, you know, check everything
• 33:07
  out like we always do when these things come around.
• 33:10
  And it's like we know everything that's going to be behind that
• 33:13
  closed door, except for maybe one thing or maybe. 2 going to
• 33:17
  Duke. We don't.
• 33:19
  Yeah, I, I'm. With you, I never know.
• 33:21
  It's. It's just like, you know, this
• 33:23
  is the typical Internet thing where, you know, back in the day
• 33:28
  when nobody knew anything about nothing, you discovered it
• 33:31
  together as a group and you had the joy of finding it out,
• 33:36
  figuring it out. Now everybody already knows what
• 33:39
  the meta is going to be. Pretty much everybody knows what
• 33:42
  what ship you're going to fly, what guns you're going to put on
• 33:45
  it. You know what?
• 33:46
  What weapons for FPS? It's all it's all been spelled
• 33:49
  out for us. There's no happen.
• 33:51
  Because if you do wait and learn on your own, you're just behind
• 33:55
  the curve and you're less optimized and you're, you're
• 33:58
  going to have less of a good time.
• 33:59
  So, you know, it is what it is. But I always find it so strange
• 34:04
  that these these events are so hyped up and they're pretty cool
• 34:07
  and everything. But then everybody just kind of,
• 34:09
  it's like, it's like kids opening presents before
• 34:12
  Christmas morning and rewrapping their gifts just so they can,
• 34:16
  you know, yeah, mom and dad can watch them unpack everything.
• 34:20
  That is 100% what this is. Look, you look dude, that's the,
• 34:24
  you hit the nail on the head right there, man.
• 34:27
  And that's, This is why I think it's going to blow because
• 34:31
  you're going to know everything. You're going there, like Duke
• 34:33
  said in the top. I'm going to go in there for 5
• 34:35
  minutes and I'm going to see the ships and I'm like, OK,
• 34:38
  whatever. Well, we're going to go in
• 34:40
  there. We're going to rent the ships
• 34:41
  that we don't actually own yet. Which, you know, some people,
• 34:43
  they're going to own everything already in there anyway, So what
• 34:46
  the hell does it matter? They don't even need to show up.
• 34:50
  So well, so The thing is, is that like you have like Comic
• 34:53
  Con, right? And pretty much every single
• 34:55
  convention, but everybody who goes down to Hall H at Comic
• 35:00
  Con, San Diego Comic Con and they walk in and, and they're
• 35:03
  waiting for that panel and waiting for the announcements.
• 35:05
  They know it's going to be announced.
• 35:07
  Everybody does. That's not the point, you know,
• 35:11
  it's about being able to actually be there and being able
• 35:16
  to actually see it and it's. The friends you make along the
• 35:19
  way. That information it quite
• 35:21
  literally is. Trust me, it can be.
• 35:23
  My life has been made immensely better because of convention,
• 35:25
  but OK, that's fair. But The thing is, is before you
• 35:28
  continue there. Before you continue, let me ask
• 35:31
  you a question. You've been to Defense Con
• 35:34
  before. You've been to IEAE.
• 35:36
  You've been to all these different things in the game,
• 35:38
  right? Yeah.
• 35:40
  Of all the times you've been there, how many times did you
• 35:43
  stop and start in game talking to somebody?
• 35:47
  We don't have a game that does that because.
• 35:50
  Sure we do. We we have.
• 35:53
  Global chat voice. You had global chat and you
• 35:57
  have, you have you had proximity, kind of like
• 36:00
  proximity chat where you can just talk to people.
• 36:03
  We've done it in the past. We've actually talked to people
• 36:05
  we talked to like we were waiting and, and we start
• 36:08
  talking to folks and they talk, talk back.
• 36:10
  I mean, we've done it because we've, there's been many days.
• 36:13
  We did the, the door Busters. We went in as a Guild and we,
• 36:16
  you know, went to the opening of the show and checked it all out
• 36:19
  as a group. And there it is.
• 36:21
  That's why they make the announcements, so you all go in
• 36:24
  as a group. It's not.
• 36:25
  Yeah, but most people don't do that.
• 36:27
  There's people running around naked in their boxer briefs,
• 36:30
  just running around from thing to thing, running up to the
• 36:32
  rental kiosk and get GTFOI mean yeah, I I get your point, but
• 36:37
  I'm just saying that's not the reality of it.
• 36:40
  Well, I mean, The thing is, is that, you know, it doesn't
• 36:44
  matter when they, I mean, if there's a surprise on day one,
• 36:48
  right? People aren't going to be
• 36:49
  finding out by going into the convention.
• 36:51
  They're going to see it on every single social media that, that,
• 36:54
  that they're, that they have Star Citizen content on.
• 36:56
  So releasing it early just gives people reason to show up.
• 37:01
  You know, like, like, or if they know what, well, you know, if
• 37:04
  they're not going to, then they're actively not going to be
• 37:07
  participating because they still need to show up in order to get
• 37:10
  the cool thing. So Skeeter in chat says that he
• 37:15
  talks in proximity chat all the time.
• 37:18
  Skeeter's a liar. Proximity chat.
• 37:21
  The proximity chat's mostly broken, so you're talking to
• 37:24
  yourself. Do you answer?
• 37:29
  It's. It's true.
• 37:30
  It is mostly unbelievable that that is that is the problem with
• 37:33
  that, with the the hypothetical you're provided.
• 37:39
  Also broken. It doesn't work.
• 37:42
  I have no idea it was broken. I was just talking to somebody
• 37:45
  yesterday. Did they talk back?
• 37:48
  They did. Well, then you got lucky.
• 37:51
  Mostly it doesn't work. So it was designed before they
• 37:55
  updated this number of people you can have on a server.
• 37:59
  So it has slots for the VoIP and one set rings and it runs out.
• 38:04
  So like if you're lucky you can get it.
• 38:09
  You can maybe be chat with someone.
• 38:11
  You're on a low pop maybe? If you're in a low pop, if, if
• 38:16
  you're in like a very empty area or an empty Shard, maybe you can
• 38:22
  get it to work. But a lot of the times you're
• 38:24
  just you're talking to air because or nothing because it's
• 38:29
  it doesn't work. Interesting.
• 38:32
  I had no idea. I had no idea that people even
• 38:35
  had issues with it. Oh yeah, it's been a common
• 38:38
  problem. This is the kind of valuable
• 38:43
  information that you can get by tuning in to Open Comms Radio.
• 38:47
  To open comms. Radio.
• 38:49
  Wednesdays. Yeah, and with with our host who
• 38:53
  apparently hasn't played in years.
• 38:58
  I haven't played in at least two weeks maybe.
• 39:02
  I mean, I, you know, I log in every week.
• 39:05
  It's just a matter of do I play when I log in?
• 39:08
  That's really what it is. I log in multiple times a week
• 39:11
  and then I go, no, no, not that, no, not this.
• 39:14
  I log in to Arena Commander all the time and it's always
• 39:21
  horrible. And I always leave.
• 39:24
  And I, I always think back to when they had the that guy who's
• 39:29
  like, oh, I'm going to focus on the Arena Commander team.
• 39:32
  And then literally like the same week they were like, oh, we're,
• 39:36
  we've reshuffled the teams, we're not doing.
• 39:39
  That they are conducting they. Forward you a jump point.
• 39:43
  Find him now. And so that is really like
• 39:48
  emblematic of my kind of vision of Starset.
• 39:53
  My perspective of the project is, oh, cool, I'm really excited
• 39:58
  about this thing that they talked about.
• 40:00
  And then almost immediately we're not going to do that,
• 40:04
  right? It's it's with this, it's with
• 40:08
  Oh my God, lamp. I feel like, well, I see.
• 40:11
  I was just like, they've gotten better in like the last year in
• 40:15
  terms of they don't just mention shit and then it disappears
• 40:20
  like. You're wrong.
• 40:21
  You're objectively that is not true.
• 40:23
  I think we talk about LAMP every show since it's been released.
• 40:27
  Every. Show and besides you.
• 40:30
  Know how many? Ships topic besides Star Wars
• 40:32
  Galaxies. Yeah.
• 40:33
  And you know how many ships have gotten lamps since we 00, since
• 40:37
  we started talking about it, and it's been months and they
• 40:39
  haven't applied it to a single other ship.
• 40:41
  And they've had new ships come out, and the new ships don't
• 40:44
  have that. It's ridiculous.
• 40:46
  We need to make a disclaimer here.
• 40:48
  The thing is, is that the reason Jar Jar loves lamps so much is
• 40:52
  OK. He's a Moff.
• 40:53
  He's a Moff. He's a Moff.
• 40:55
  I knew it. I fucking knew it.
• 40:56
  Yep. OK, hold on, one more, one more
• 40:59
  of this. Remember we had the sound
• 41:01
  episode. We were talking about the sound.
• 41:02
  They're not doing the realistic sound anymore.
• 41:05
  That was. Good, I thought that was. 10
• 41:07
  minute presentation, right? I don't think they've said
• 41:12
  they're not doing that anymore. They literally said it.
• 41:14
  No, they didn't say they're not doing.
• 41:15
  This no yes, go to the go to the latest the sound SCL with the
• 41:20
  guy with the tall hair. They literally said we are not
• 41:23
  doing the real realistic sound anymore.
• 41:25
  We're focusing on cinematic sound.
• 41:27
  Yeah, I think, I think he meant that they're just not working on
• 41:30
  it right now. No, no, they're not.
• 41:32
  They're they're going to, they're going to work on it.
• 41:34
  They're going to work on the features that people actually
• 41:37
  want. Oh, nothing I want.
• 41:40
  Yeah, nothing you want is on the list that other.
• 41:43
  People want for no fuck that. Hold on.
• 41:48
  Hold on that. Controller to play.
• 41:49
  This thing sliding, we're getting.
• 41:52
  Sliding we're getting. We are.
• 41:53
  You know what? You turn it.
• 41:54
  Around. I'm bringing you back, baby.
• 41:57
  Oh boy. Sliding.
• 41:58
  You know what? I want to log in right now and
• 42:01
  while I log in, May as well introduce you all to our our
• 42:05
  leader, our our friend. All right, he's he's he has a
• 42:09
  picture of a cat, but I won't hold that against him.
• 42:11
  It is Murphy, Jack. Murphy, Jack, welcome to coms
• 42:14
  radio, your Star Citizen call in show this week's question.
• 42:18
  What if defense con blows? Now, they're still going to make
• 42:22
  a ton of money, right? So right to the point.
• 42:27
  I mean, I, I'm, I'm split with this, the revealing like you
• 42:33
  guys are talking about, they're revealing the ships right one
• 42:36
  hand. I think it's cool.
• 42:37
  It's like, oh, neat, we're going to see this that and other
• 42:39
  thing. But like on the you think about
• 42:43
  the excitement of waiting at the door to bust in and everybody
• 42:48
  like in Discord, like waiting for the the trailer to drop of
• 42:53
  the ship like at IE and like we're running while somebody
• 42:56
  else is watching the video and like.
• 42:58
  Oh my God, watch the video. It kind of takes a little bit
• 43:01
  away from that, but I mean, they're still going to release
• 43:04
  the video I, I think. So I don't.
• 43:07
  Know I I don't know. It's new.
• 43:09
  They didn't. They haven't done it like this
• 43:10
  before, have they? I don't think they have.
• 43:12
  They haven't. No, not for as many ships.
• 43:15
  Yeah, maybe 1. But isn't.
• 43:18
  There. That's why I think there's going
• 43:19
  to be more ships. There's going to be more.
• 43:20
  That's what I mean. I think there's going to be what
• 43:23
  about the Forge? You guys are talking about
• 43:24
  Consolidated Outland, right? Well, what about the?
• 43:26
  Forge, they've got so much shit that they're just showing us
• 43:29
  stuff. That's how confident they are.
• 43:31
  What was the? Stingray thing was it nothing or
• 43:35
  just a rumor? Was that unreal?
• 43:39
  Is that it is real? They did they say something
• 43:42
  about? It it's no, no, it's, it's
• 43:44
  probably not coming at defence con.
• 43:47
  There's been no indication that it is.
• 43:51
  Really. Yeah.
• 43:52
  Well, where did this rumor start?
• 43:54
  CI GS starting to turn into the government.
• 43:56
  They can't keep a secret. Oh my God.
• 43:59
  Like you say like I think there was some rumors talked about
• 44:02
  last time, but reveal the what ships are coming out so they can
• 44:06
  reveal something huge at the end right?
• 44:10
  Watching 42. Yeah, and notably the, I don't
• 44:16
  know if we talk leaks or anything, but I I saw one point
• 44:20
  that intrigued me was the FAA hollow or F8A display was
• 44:26
  notably empty. Yeah.
• 44:28
  That's true. Which is weird because we
• 44:30
  already know what that looks like.
• 44:32
  Haven't. They, yeah, they do the, the
• 44:36
  aerobatic team, whatever they're called there.
• 44:38
  Remember the the the red and white F eights?
• 44:43
  Yeah, Speaking of, I could have gotten more money from my F7 a
• 44:48
  Oh my God, that guy like shamed me.
• 44:50
  I you know what? I could have gotten probably 50,
• 44:54
  maybe 100 bucks more. Did you sell it?
• 44:57
  Yeah, really. Wow.
• 44:59
  Easy. Easily, easily.
• 45:01
  Star Citizen trades easy. I had a bunch of people asking
• 45:05
  for it and then I just one guy just hit me up and I upped the
• 45:11
  What did you list it as? What did you list it as?
• 45:17
  Price point it, well, I sold it. I No, no no.
• 45:20
  I. Don't want to that's.
• 45:21
  Not what I ask you. I don't.
• 45:22
  I don't want to. I don't care what you sold it
• 45:24
  for. What did you list it as?
• 45:26
  F. No the price, knucklehead.
• 45:30
  No, that's what he said. You just said you didn't want
• 45:32
  to. He doesn't want to say no.
• 45:34
  What are you talking about? I thought you were saying that
• 45:36
  you were going to tell us how much you sold it for.
• 45:38
  I didn't want to know that. I just wanted to know what you
• 45:40
  listed it for. Yeah, OK.
• 45:42
  The price? Maybe.
• 45:43
  Maybe that's I don't. Want to anchor anybody but I?
• 45:47
  I think I listed it for 325 and sold it for three. 50 So what
• 45:52
  was all this shit about you listed it for?
• 45:54
  You're going to sell it for 1000?
• 45:56
  No one. I literally said I won't sell it
• 45:58
  for 1000. I know, but you the the you.
• 46:01
  It was a it was a reading comprehension issue.
• 46:04
  I can I tell, can I tell you something?
• 46:07
  In retrospect, you should have, I should have.
• 46:09
  I should have you guys shamed some, some product I could use
• 46:16
  $600.00 right now. Yeah.
• 46:19
  Anyway, not to cut into your into your time, Refugeeack.
• 46:23
  No, I, you know, if we're going to be on this subject, I said
• 46:26
  you could have listed it for 10,000 and I wouldn't have given
• 46:28
  a shit. It's your fucking shit.
• 46:32
  There you go. Thank you.
• 46:32
  I appreciate that. And I'll keep that in mind next
• 46:34
  time when I get this FAA or whatever.
• 46:37
  Yeah, make sure to at all at everyone.
• 46:40
  Please, please add everyone, multiple industries all, all
• 46:44
  groups. Yeah, for everyone.
• 46:46
  I added everyone. I added a large group of people
• 46:49
  in the discord who I thought may had been interested in the
• 46:52
  combat ship. I added all the combat people
• 46:55
  and it created drama and now I'm not allowed to add anyone
• 47:00
  anymore and my power has been rescinded.
• 47:03
  But all every morning I wake up I'm just like, I just want to
• 47:06
  fucking ping everybody. We'll see.
• 47:09
  What? Wow.
• 47:10
  So not only that, but also ping them.
• 47:13
  Yeah. You can do that.
• 47:15
  You can ping anyone on the open comms discord as much as you
• 47:18
  want. I can and I know people mute it,
• 47:21
  so whatever. So make sure to join the discord
• 47:25
  so you can get. Just once with you guys.
• 47:26
  I literally ping you once a week.
• 47:28
  That's fine. You can mute it.
• 47:29
  You can. Yeah, you can join the open
• 47:31
  comms discord. Give us a like, give us a
• 47:33
  subscribe. Join the Discord.
• 47:35
  You'll only get pinged once a week, maybe twice a week if
• 47:38
  someone does something cool. All right, or.
• 47:40
  It is really good. Yeah, it is.
• 47:43
  Murphy, Jack. So, Murphy Jack, what do you
• 47:44
  want to add to what you were saying?
• 47:46
  Well. I was just saying the the the
• 47:47
  consolidate L and forge right? Isn't that's supposed to be like
• 47:53
  coming, isn't it? Is it supposed to be a crafting
• 47:56
  ship or is that a base building ship?
• 47:59
  Crafting right? It was supposed to be with the.
• 48:02
  There's tech messing it. They, for whatever reason,
• 48:05
  wanted it to have that ground sucking stuff.
• 48:10
  Your ground sucking. Oh right.
• 48:12
  Yeah, it's supposed to be able to sit on top of a mineral
• 48:14
  deposit, but we don't even have mineral deposits.
• 48:16
  Yeah, it's. Just to be.
• 48:17
  Part of Genesis, or. Genesis.
• 48:20
  Or cloth, probably. Genesis is planet.
• 48:24
  Forbidden. Now.
• 48:27
  If they don't have the big announcement at the end of
• 48:31
  defence Con or is everybody gonna feel deflated or what?
• 48:36
  Burn. It all down.
• 48:37
  I'll be worried. I mean, we're, we're talking
• 48:40
  about, you know, if they don't have a, a, a date for squadron,
• 48:44
  right? Yeah, whatever you're thinking,
• 48:47
  Yeah. I mean, when else, when else
• 48:49
  would they announce that date? I don't know then would Chris?
• 48:53
  Roberts Didn't Chris Roberts in that one interview basically
• 48:58
  sidestep the. Whole he did, it did seem.
• 49:01
  Grand Theft Auto thing. He basically said like, you
• 49:07
  know, they're trying to do it this year.
• 49:09
  He can't say for certain if they'll be able to do that
• 49:11
  because there's something big in the industry that everyone's
• 49:14
  dealing with or something like that.
• 49:16
  Yeah. But that I.
• 49:17
  Mean it was also months ago, just FYI.
• 49:20
  Yeah, right, which just that's true.
• 49:22
  But you know, how many times has GTA6 been delayed and and
• 49:28
  rescheduled and and nobody wants to release their titles around
• 49:32
  that game? It doesn't matter if it's only
• 49:34
  if it's only going to be on console or not.
• 49:36
  People were going to. That's going to be the biggest
• 49:39
  thing in gaming for several months.
• 49:41
  So what we have to do is we have to sabotage Grand Theft Auto's
• 49:46
  launch. Well, that's a, you know, I
• 49:49
  would. Fucking.
• 49:51
  Yolo Yolo it because what if GTA releases in like a state of
• 49:56
  like. Complete mess.
• 49:57
  Cyberpunk. Hello MI 5 agents listening to
• 50:00
  this to this show we know there was a big hack for take two
• 50:04
  recently we had nothing involved with that just.
• 50:07
  Letting you know, fuck those Brits, what are they going to
• 50:09
  do? Well, if you have, yeah.
• 50:11
  Talk about it like that. You probably were the
• 50:13
  ringleader. You're.
• 50:14
  Going to send Burund after us. In any event, I.
• 50:19
  Would give you a new game I. Would hope.
• 50:21
  I would hope that 42 is released nowhere close to GTA6.
• 50:30
  Look, I don't think they have a choice now.
• 50:31
  I think they gotta, you know, they gotta have to put up or
• 50:34
  shut up as, as they say. So, yeah, this, I, this could be
• 50:39
  Murphy, Jack, I, I think you're on the right track here.
• 50:42
  Like they're releasing all these ships.
• 50:45
  This could be their, you know, official announcement.
• 50:50
  I hope so 'cause if not, I'm worried.
• 50:53
  Like Duke, I'd be worried. Yeah, now.
• 50:57
  There's been too much silence, you know, No word on any citizen
• 51:01
  con thing, whether it's going to be virtual or in person.
• 51:04
  No word on an exact date on Squadron.
• 51:06
  It's already, it's already May. It's already, you know, it's
• 51:11
  time. How many Iscs have we had this
• 51:13
  year 2. No, we've had more than that.
• 51:17
  But not that many more. I feel like they're having like
• 51:19
  they talked about doing it much more frequently and that has not
• 51:22
  happened. Exclude the ones that aren't for
• 51:24
  ships. No ship ad whatever is.
• 51:27
  How many have we had? I don't know.
• 51:33
  You can put them on one hand, that's for sure.
• 51:35
  Speaking of their online video presence with Jared and and the
• 51:39
  rest of the developing crew, I'm going to propose something and
• 51:43
  you got to tell me if I'm crazy. This guy, John crew, the ginger,
• 51:47
  right? He's the ginger John.
• 51:49
  Crew he's. The guy, He's the guy in charge
• 51:51
  of the ships making ships, right?
• 51:54
  Pretty much. Yeah.
• 51:56
  Every time he's on camera, he looks like he's a fucking
• 51:58
  hostage and he's being. Held at gunpoint.
• 52:01
  OK, OK, he looks the exact same in real life too.
• 52:05
  Yeah, yeah, that's how we look. Well, no, no, wait.
• 52:08
  Hobo hobo. Consider, Consider where we saw
• 52:12
  him in real life and. And maybe he also felt like a
• 52:15
  hostage there, too. Yeah, he kind of.
• 52:17
  Yeah, kind of. Yes, he want some potato salad.
• 52:25
  Are those are those are. Those Brussels sprouts at a BBQ
• 52:30
  at a. Barbecue BBQ.
• 52:33
  That was a. Christmas.
• 52:35
  Just wanted to be with you. Yeah man, we we have those
• 52:40
  everywhere. Like all the.
• 52:41
  Time. I'm sorry about our terrible
• 52:43
  accents all. Right.
• 52:44
  Look, look, look, we're going to we're going to invite this next
• 52:47
  guy up. I don't know how long you've
• 52:48
  been on the refugee. I had lost track of time.
• 52:51
  I'm not. No, get the other guy up.
• 52:53
  Real Duke. 'S Duke's gonna take over here
• 52:55
  for from now on but I am going to pull up this this next caller
• 52:59
  he's a great guy he's a he's a friend he's he's he's he's also
• 53:04
  into cats. I don't know what's going on
• 53:06
  with these people in the in the company and.
• 53:08
  It's great. Be so into to cats.
• 53:10
  It's weird. It's kind of off putting.
• 53:13
  I'm, I'm, I'm going to be honest, but it's Broccoli Rob.
• 53:15
  Broccoli Rob, you're a star call in show.
• 53:19
  We meet every Wednesday night, 9:00 Eastern Time, 6:00 Pacific
• 53:24
  Time. Every week we have a question.
• 53:26
  This week's question is pretty cool.
• 53:28
  It's what if defence con blows it?
• 53:30
  Also broccoli Rob, because I know you've played it.
• 53:33
  What can we expect from the next patch?
• 53:36
  How's it going y'all? I just want to get one thing out
• 53:38
  of the way real quick. The number of times that I have
• 53:40
  been scammed by Jar Jar Jabroni. What?
• 53:45
  All right, get the list out. How?
• 53:47
  Never. Can you elaborate?
• 53:49
  You invited me to a dinner party and you're like, oh, what do we
• 53:52
  do? I don't know.
• 53:54
  Can someone cook? Rob, listen.
• 53:57
  Rob sounds bitter about this, but I have it on really good
• 54:00
  authority that he fucking loved it.
• 54:04
  You know what then I'll forget. Are you?
• 54:07
  You Hang on. Jar jar, you go hang out at the
• 54:10
  party with everybody else and have fun.
• 54:11
  I'll be down here. I'll cook fine.
• 54:15
  By slipping away over the stove. Fine by me.
• 54:18
  To be fair, I came down, I ate, I, I ate some food.
• 54:22
  You came down. Again, you did.
• 54:23
  Directly in the way. You did a really good.
• 54:25
  Cooking in. The here of eating that food and
• 54:29
  being right in the fucking way. Let me tell you something, I'll
• 54:32
  do it again. Rob, it's not every place and
• 54:36
  I'm just saying it was, it was all good.
• 54:39
  We were in our element. Yeah, we we were, we were
• 54:42
  killing it anyway. What the fuck are you talking
• 54:46
  Defense con broccoli Rob? Right, right.
• 54:48
  Sorry. Is it gonna blow?
• 54:52
  What if it? Was it or what if it?
• 54:54
  You want it to you want it to blow, do you?
• 54:55
  Want it to get blown at defense con?
• 54:58
  Hold on, hold on. Dealer's choice.
• 55:01
  Answer a question, any question. Something about defense card?
• 55:05
  If I find defense kind to be disappointing, I'm going to be
• 55:09
  really worried about the future of the project because it
• 55:11
  doesn't take much. These things don't take much to
• 55:14
  impress me. Ship show it's yeah, I I think
• 55:22
  if I'm upset by it, we're fucked.
• 55:29
  But that being said, I don't think I will be disappointed.
• 55:33
  They're pulling out all the stops.
• 55:34
  They're dropping what, like 6 ships?
• 55:39
  They're like breaking their thing of like the three straight
• 55:43
  to flyables 1 concept. I guess we're doing 1 concept,
• 55:46
  the last concept. But they're trying to do
• 55:50
  everything they can to get to a billion on this.
• 55:54
  Like I'm convinced that they're going to hit.
• 55:56
  They're doing everything they can to hit 1 billion at Defence
• 55:59
  Con. They pulled ILW out like there's
• 56:04
  not. They didn't do that for no
• 56:05
  reason, you know? Where, where, Where are they at
• 56:08
  right now for price point? You're saying they're going to
• 56:10
  hit a billion at defense Con? 969.
• 56:14
  Really. Nice, nice.
• 56:18
  They they can. I think the number of battle
• 56:22
  cruisers is going to depend on how close they are to 1 billion.
• 56:28
  I think they're going to up that number if they see like, you
• 56:31
  know, if they're right there, they'll sell 12, but if they're
• 56:34
  kind of far away, they could sell 200.
• 56:37
  Do you what? Do you what do?
• 56:38
  You guys, what do you guys think that battle cruiser price
• 56:41
  point's going to be? $5000. 2500 How much?
• 56:47
  How much did you say? 5000.
• 56:51
  I said where do you use that 2500?
• 56:53
  25, 42142. Oh, OK, OK. 40. 2. 42 Murphy
• 57:01
  Jack wins. That's the if.
• 57:03
  Honestly, if I, if we were in a meeting like talking about this
• 57:06
  and you brought that up, I'd be like, yeah, done sell the J for
• 57:10
  42. Yeah, I mean, these idiots are
• 57:12
  going to buy it anyway, right? Yeah, go for it.
• 57:18
  I mean, if you only on the condition that you are
• 57:22
  announcing Squadron 42 at the same event, if you're not doing
• 57:26
  that, go fuck yourself with that shit.
• 57:28
  But if you're going to do that, go for it.
• 57:31
  That's The thing is like they could have just done like
• 57:34
  another ILW, like sell like a military, like flight suit, done
• 57:40
  the whole like rigmarole of the like regular ILW, but they
• 57:44
  wanted to do something different.
• 57:45
  They mentioned that they're going back to Seoul.
• 57:49
  Last time they did that is when they mentioned it was feature
• 57:51
  complete. They've been fucking with the
• 57:54
  website. There's just too much pointing
• 57:57
  to a monumental achievement of hitting a billion and us only
• 58:04
  having so many months left in 2026.
• 58:06
  I'm so convinced that it's coming out in 2026.
• 58:09
  So. Did you guys see the people
• 58:12
  talking about a glitch with the launcher where it showed
• 58:16
  squadron in the launcher briefly?
• 58:19
  I don't know if that was a hoax or.
• 58:22
  No, I didn't. I didn't see that.
• 58:24
  I didn't. See the launcher.
• 58:26
  I saw the store page, the supposed store page glitch that
• 58:30
  showed the different tiers of Squadron 42 packages, but I.
• 58:36
  Saw one not earlier today. Did you see?
• 58:39
  Pictures of it. Yeah, I'm going to see if I can
• 58:42
  find it. Yeah, there's six new ships, 1
• 58:46
  concept ship and then Squadron 42.
• 58:51
  Pre sale easy. Oh.
• 58:53
  A pre sale, not just an announcement, pre sale.
• 58:57
  I. I think we'll easily hit the hit
• 59:02
  the 1 billion total pledges. I mean, we've, they're already
• 59:06
  over a billion if they count their investments because last
• 59:10
  year the month of May, they sold $29 million worth of chips
• 59:18
  during, during, during the the last show last May.
• 59:22
  And this month we're already at a million.
• 59:25
  And with the new battle crews are going to go on sale probably
• 59:30
  this month, it's going to easily outpace last year.
• 59:34
  We're right now we're we're we're projecting or currently
• 59:38
  we're like 15% over earnings last year as far as pledges
• 59:42
  goes. When I say earnings pledges, so
• 59:46
  it's it should easily eclipse and get get the tracker up to a
• 59:50
  a a cool billion in in pledges and Kickstarter money.
• 59:55
  Yep. So I think we're looking good.
• 1:00:00
  I think I've got I've got faith in this one in particular.
• 1:00:04
  ILW normally is like all right, maybe I'll rearrange my fleet,
• 1:00:07
  see like what new fighter they have that I'm going to melt in
• 1:00:11
  two weeks. But this one?
• 1:00:14
  A little little more, a little more something behind it, I
• 1:00:16
  think. Yeah, I gotta say, I I've got
• 1:00:20
  faith too. I mean, it's been a long road
• 1:00:23
  getting from. There from your hand now.
• 1:00:31
  No, but seriously. You knew what you were doing,
• 1:00:34
  you said. I knew exactly what I.
• 1:00:37
  Mean, but it is true. Yeah, I gotta watch that now.
• 1:00:41
  It's gonna. Be stuck in my fucking head now
• 1:00:44
  I gotta watch it too. Can I tell you something?
• 1:00:46
  Not the best Star Trek a good a good Star Trek like.
• 1:00:51
  I at the very end, there was so much potential in that last
• 1:00:53
  season. Very last season.
• 1:00:55
  Also, Jolene Block is like an amazing an amazing Vulcan.
• 1:01:02
  Vulcan. Ever.
• 1:01:03
  Yep, they should. They should have had a couple
• 1:01:05
  more seasons for sure. They got robbed.
• 1:01:07
  And just that. My, my, what's his name?
• 1:01:09
  What's the main actor's name? Scott.
• 1:01:11
  What's his name? Bakula.
• 1:01:12
  Actually, Scott Bakula, I was watching it one day and my mom
• 1:01:17
  came in and she was like, I was a kid.
• 1:01:19
  And she was like, what? What do you want watching?
• 1:01:22
  I was like Star Trek, do you want to watch with me?
• 1:01:23
  And she was like, oh, I'll watch anything with Scott Bakula.
• 1:01:26
  And I was like, really? And then they did a
• 1:01:30
  decontamination scene and it's like, oh.
• 1:01:32
  Yeah, then they had like research Scott Bakula and be
• 1:01:35
  like, was he like a heart throb? I don't get it.
• 1:01:38
  You're you're sitting there with him, Holland.
• 1:01:40
  You're both watching Scott Bakula get some goo rubbed all
• 1:01:43
  over his shoulders. Yeah.
• 1:01:44
  Yeah, there's some. There's some scenes with his
• 1:01:46
  shirt off. Don't let them.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah, right. We do.
• 1:01:49
  We do have another caller and I, I do want to bring him up before
• 1:01:52
  I completely change the subject, which I am going to do very
• 1:01:55
  soon. This next guy, he's the goose,
• 1:01:59
  you know? You know what can I say?
• 1:02:00
  A punk rock goose. I've.
• 1:02:01
  Listened to a. Lot of punk rock music today, so
• 1:02:04
  it's it's very fitting to have Veritable Hatter here with us on
• 1:02:07
  the couch. Veritable Hatter?
• 1:02:11
  What if defense Con blows? Oh, man, I think I'm in a very
• 1:02:15
  similar place to Rob where it's, it's, it'll be very hard for me
• 1:02:18
  to like that. There's a little bar because
• 1:02:21
  usually it's, you know, they talk about a lot of the things
• 1:02:23
  that they're planning on doing and they release some ships and
• 1:02:26
  I think it's a fun time, but they're there to sell ships.
• 1:02:28
  So it's, it's not a high bar for me to have a enjoying thing out
• 1:02:31
  of it. But if they don't give us any
• 1:02:34
  kind of like at least a, a window in this year that their
• 1:02:41
  their release plan is, then I'm gonna be, I'm not going to say
• 1:02:44
  it blows, but I'm going to be I'm going to be disappointed.
• 1:02:47
  So what if it does? It'll be a disappointing year,
• 1:02:52
  but I don't think it will so. Now veritable any of the the new
• 1:02:58
  ships that you've seen of the jpegs that have been released so
• 1:03:01
  far, What you know what, what rubs ya?
• 1:03:08
  Frankly, none of the stuff recently has been like super my
• 1:03:10
  jam. I mean, the Aurora, the new
• 1:03:12
  Aurora was kind of fun. And you know, I've been poking
• 1:03:15
  around with that. It's a good time.
• 1:03:17
  The the the new Drake snub looks kind of silly, but it's like
• 1:03:21
  none of them are things that I'm going to pick up.
• 1:03:23
  Like it's they'll be things that I poke around in game with for
• 1:03:26
  10 seconds, but I'm not going to throw money at them unless they
• 1:03:30
  come unless they start throwing out like crafting ships and
• 1:03:33
  stuff like that. I think my fleet's pretty safe.
• 1:03:37
  Now feel free to talk shit about the Drake snub.
• 1:03:41
  Yes, please do. No, no, if it if it fits in a
• 1:03:45
  Corsair then I will be, I will be happy to pick one up and
• 1:03:49
  throw around. Yeah, I know.
• 1:03:51
  I know. It doesn't.
• 1:03:53
  It's too tall. That's where you can.
• 1:03:55
  Yeah. Come on.
• 1:03:56
  Well, we don't know it's a snub. Do we know it's a snub for sure?
• 1:03:59
  I don't think so. I.
• 1:03:59
  Think they've said if it's a snub yet, but it sure as heck
• 1:04:02
  looks like a snub and it's almost the same size as a Fury.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah, if it's almost the same, I mean, like my, my gut is they're
• 1:04:10
  gonna release it as a snub just so you can like cram a crap ton
• 1:04:14
  of them into one of the what is it the the ironclads and use it
• 1:04:20
  as sort of a pocket carrier kind of thing.
• 1:04:22
  But we'll see. Everyone wants their damn pocket
• 1:04:24
  carrier. I know, it's wild.
• 1:04:26
  Carrier, yeah, but at least now we can actually repair and
• 1:04:28
  restock at our pocket carrier. OK, that's fair.
• 1:04:31
  That's true. That is, that is true.
• 1:04:33
  But now it it's not just larping like now, there will not be an
• 1:04:35
  actual use. Case for it.
• 1:04:37
  Can we get the Liberator? We get an actual carrier.
• 1:04:40
  Yeah, actually I'm, I'm curious about that.
• 1:04:42
  So the Ironclad is basically just the Drake version of the
• 1:04:45
  Liberator, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:50
  It's a, it's a, it's a ship carrier.
• 1:04:53
  No, it's not. It's intended role.
• 1:04:56
  The crack. Is a cargo ship.
• 1:04:58
  No, the ironclad, the Kraken is a that's different.
• 1:05:03
  I mean the ironclad, sorry. Whatever the the ironclad combat
• 1:05:07
  version, is it really a shipping a carrier thing or is it it's a?
• 1:05:13
  The Ironclad Assault's like a ground.
• 1:05:15
  Well, OK, the Ironclad Assault was designed, at least on paper,
• 1:05:19
  as a ground assault support ship.
• 1:05:23
  So like you fill it up with tanks and you send them out,
• 1:05:26
  they get beat up and the tanks come back for repairs.
• 1:05:29
  Does it have a lot of belly guns?
• 1:05:32
  No 'cause it's supposed to be landing on the ground, so it's
• 1:05:35
  gonna. Send up the ground ground side
• 1:05:37
  and come on. It's got more turrets, yeah, but
• 1:05:40
  not belly guns, Yeah. I mean, it ought to have some
• 1:05:44
  belly guns. It's got it has to clear a
• 1:05:46
  landing zone, land and defend the landing zone.
• 1:05:50
  That's what your snubs are for. Yeah, it's I guess it did.
• 1:05:55
  It needs support ships. It should not be operating by
• 1:05:57
  itself. Is too big.
• 1:06:00
  Probably going to be slow. Big rectangle, easy target.
• 1:06:04
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Well, Speaking of.
• 1:06:09
  Easy targets. Veritable.
• 1:06:13
  Veritable. No.
• 1:06:14
  Give veritable a little more time.
• 1:06:16
  You're veritable. You're a goose.
• 1:06:17
  You you've been listening to punk rock music.
• 1:06:23
  I found some new punk bands today, so that's.
• 1:06:25
  Why? Oh God, new, new.
• 1:06:26
  Let's, let's go with the new ones.
• 1:06:28
  Because the the last thing that I was listening to was just old
• 1:06:32
  Dead Kennedys, because I'm cranky and old.
• 1:06:34
  So tell me what's new. There's so much new shit bro.
• 1:06:38
  All right, OK, Royal and the serpent.
• 1:06:42
  Royal and the Serpent, all right.
• 1:06:44
  They have a cool song, 1 Nation Underdogs.
• 1:06:47
  It sounds like teenage angst. It's kind of that, but it's like
• 1:06:52
  it's cool. It's cool, it's cool, it's cool.
• 1:06:54
  Also, do you guys know Ray or Raya?
• 1:06:58
  What's her name? She's a hot.
• 1:07:00
  She's a hot thing. She has a song called Where's My
• 1:07:03
  Husband? There's a punk cover of that
• 1:07:07
  song, which is you, you, you know, when you get like a pop
• 1:07:11
  song or whatever or any song and then a punk band is a cover of
• 1:07:15
  it and you're like, oh, it's a fucking punk punk song or a
• 1:07:18
  metal band is a cover of it. And you're like, oh, that's a
• 1:07:20
  metal song. This is what happened here.
• 1:07:23
  Where is my husband is a is a is a punk song.
• 1:07:26
  And then some English band that I guess is on Channel 4 in
• 1:07:31
  England called Lady Parts. Lady Parts is a chick band and
• 1:07:37
  they have a song called Villain Era, which was just so good.
• 1:07:42

• 1:07:45

  He's doing pretty well for himself.
• 1:10:16
  There are a lot worse places to be as a hostage.
• 1:10:19
  Yeah, that's true. We were feeding.
• 1:10:22
  Them. Yeah, they have those like
• 1:10:24
  cherry blocks. Raw blood office.
• 1:10:26
  If I had to interact with the public as much as he does with
• 1:10:28
  the questions that he's got, I'd probably look like that too.
• 1:10:31
  So like, kudos to him keeping it vaguely together.
• 1:10:35
  Yeah, I've been. I've been to the bar citizens
• 1:10:38
  where they're at and I've I've walked by as people were asking
• 1:10:42
  them questions and I'm like, fucked.
• 1:10:43
  I was just like, man, dude. Just let him.
• 1:10:48
  Let him decompress. But no, he's not.
• 1:10:50
  He's working. So yeah.
• 1:10:52
  Yeah, I was standing there. It's your time.
• 1:10:54
  Well, I was just, I was standing next to him at the Par Citizen
• 1:10:57
  DC while everybody was coming up to him.
• 1:10:59
  And I was like, I felt so bad for him, some of the people
• 1:11:02
  coming up to him and like theory crafting everything and it was
• 1:11:05
  just bizarre. But.
• 1:11:06
  Anyway, I did ask if they wanted to have like a table that we
• 1:11:10
  could like control, like ground control for them.
• 1:11:13
  And they're like, Oh, no, no, It's like, OK.
• 1:11:16
  They handled it well. Oh, so yeah, they were.
• 1:11:19
  Yeah. They were having a good time.
• 1:11:20
  So did our guests. We we didn't, I didn't see them
• 1:11:23
  get like mobbed or anything. Like they got it.
• 1:11:28
  It's everyone. Yeah, honestly, it's everybody
• 1:11:31
  was nice too. It's even.
• 1:11:32
  If nobody tried fighting anyone's kids.
• 1:11:34
  Yeah, yeah, we yeah, the Star Sister community is a really
• 1:11:36
  good group of fucking. Adults.
• 1:11:39
  So I hope you guys. Would behave what?
• 1:11:41
  No, I mean, everyone was a a good and professional adult.
• 1:11:45
  Yeah, there was a yeah. Something about fighting kids,
• 1:11:48
  OK. No gear.
• 1:11:51
  Look man, Drake Drake defense sounds come up.
• 1:11:53
  They've released all the jpegs. Maybe no more surprises Even if
• 1:11:57
  Squadron 42 releases. No surprises there.
• 1:12:02
  There's a surprise coming, all right, look, look, look.
• 1:12:05
  What is the most anticipated Drake shift in existence?
• 1:12:10
  The Kraken. The Kraken Defense Con.
• 1:12:13
  Drake Defense Con. Like there's a big announcement
• 1:12:17
  coming and it's going to involve the Kraken.
• 1:12:20
  I'm going to pop your bubble. The leak?
• 1:12:23
  Nope, I'm you don't want to, I'll let you just.
• 1:12:27
  Live in here. No, you can you can tell me the
• 1:12:29
  leak, but it's it's not going to pop on problem, but it's.
• 1:12:32
  They. They're going to be out there,
• 1:12:33
  buddy. No, they they actually no,
• 1:12:35
  that's what they want. That's what they want you to.
• 1:12:38
  Think. See.
• 1:12:40
  See this. Is what I it's misdirection.
• 1:12:42
  This is like it's a classic misdirection.
• 1:12:45
  He's, he's just deluded. No, I am a little disappointed
• 1:12:49
  that there wasn't one in my hangar this week.
• 1:12:52
  I don't know if you know those listening or listening last
• 1:12:55
  week, but they were supposed to give me one.
• 1:13:00
  You throw it in you. And how can I ask you how much
• 1:13:02
  is the Kraken? I think it's 1700, but I can't
• 1:13:09
  remember if that's for the privateer.
• 1:13:12
  That sound right? That's a lot.
• 1:13:16
  Of money. I could be wrong.
• 1:13:17
  I want to say it's 1400 for the regular and 17 for the
• 1:13:20
  privateer. I could be wrong, I don't
• 1:13:23
  remember what the. Privateer has more guns, is that
• 1:13:26
  what it is? No, the privateer has the the
• 1:13:28
  shops like the it's it'll it'll have automated stores that I the
• 1:13:36
  way I understand it, you can just like leave running and you
• 1:13:40
  could use it as like a portable base, but also people could come
• 1:13:43
  and shop there and it would just be like a money making machine
• 1:13:46
  it. Has kiosks.
• 1:13:48
  Yeah, yeah, like, like a little space station, little stores
• 1:13:52
  with kiosks. That's brilliant.
• 1:13:55
  They're terminals. I was going to say something I
• 1:13:58
  forgot. I was going to say it was about
• 1:13:59
  the crack and oh, I was going to say last year I I could never
• 1:14:03
  buy one, but it went on sale last year and I just really
• 1:14:06
  wanted to get one in my cart just so I could look at it in my
• 1:14:11
  cart. And then him and Haw about
• 1:14:14
  pushing the button and then hopefully not pushing the
• 1:14:16
  button. But I couldn't even get one in
• 1:14:18
  my cart to look at it and manufacture.
• 1:14:23
  Scarcity. I know artificial scarcity, it's
• 1:14:26
  so frustrating, but I get it. You don't want like a million
• 1:14:29
  krakens like flying around. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:33
  Now you limit the purchase so you can up to keep the price
• 1:14:36
  high. Well, I mean, it's supply and
• 1:14:38
  demand, right? But like in reality how it's not
• 1:14:42
  easy to make a ship like a crack in that should be scarce.
• 1:14:46
  No, I mean the crack. In the real life.
• 1:14:48
  Bigger than some games you play. Oh, for sure, you know.
• 1:14:52
  What I mean, yeah, and and yeah, in terms of that size and stuff.
• 1:14:55
  So I think generally I just want to go around, I want one answer
• 1:15:01
  from everybody, one word answer to kind of put a cap on this is
• 1:15:06
  Drake Defense Con. Will it blow?
• 1:15:09
  Yes, it will blow or no it will not blow or something creative.
• 1:15:14
  Who cares? Let's start with Skeeter.
• 1:15:16
  Skeeter, Drake Defense Con Will it blow?
• 1:15:18
  It will not blow. I think we're in for some more
• 1:15:20
  surprises. OK, OK, veritable.
• 1:15:23
  Good. Will Drake defense con.
• 1:15:26
  Will it blow? No, I think it's going to be
• 1:15:28
  fun. OK, Broccoli Rob.
• 1:15:34
  No. It will not blow.
• 1:15:37
  Is that three? No blows.
• 1:15:41
  That's two no blows. All right, I'm just just unlike
• 1:15:44
  my youth wicket Drake defense con Will it blow?
• 1:15:48
  Old fisted blowing to the wallet.
• 1:15:52
  Oh Lord, Anubis Drake Defense con Will it blow?
• 1:15:58
  Hold on. I got to think about this
• 1:16:00
  because everybody else chose the other one, and I got to be a
• 1:16:02
  contrarian. But this is too good.
• 1:16:05
  No, it, it it, it'll be great. It'll be great.
• 1:16:09
  Murphy, Jack Drake defense gun. Will it blow?
• 1:16:12
  No, it's gonna be good. Cosmic Kobo.
• 1:16:15
  It's fucking Drake, of course it's gonna blow.
• 1:16:17
  Oh, how about? I gotta stand by my principles.
• 1:16:23
  If it was grazing Grey's almost a Grey's Anatomy, it was Grey's
• 1:16:27
  Market. It'd be amazing.
• 1:16:28
  Drake, the best manufacturer in the game.
• 1:16:31
  Does anybody think it's not going to push him over a
• 1:16:33
  billion? Anybody not think?
• 1:16:36
  It's definitely. That'll be over a billion,
• 1:16:38
  though. 16969 do do Claire. The second direct defense kind
• 1:16:42
  of. Will it blow?
• 1:16:44
  Nah, no. OK.
• 1:16:48
  All right. Very positive, positive group
• 1:16:49
  here. I'm glad you guys are so
• 1:16:50
  optimistic. Only two realists.
• 1:16:53
  Our next Well, don't be too much of A realist because our next
• 1:16:55
  topic today is stonks. We're going to talk a little bit
• 1:16:59
  about stonks today. Stonks listen.
• 1:17:03
  I'm green. Hold on, Murphy.
• 1:17:07
  Jack, you got my text. You got my text last night.
• 1:17:09
  Last night. I did.
• 1:17:12
  Did you see? I didn't look I how they don't
• 1:17:17
  have stocks. Do they?
• 1:17:18
  I think it's a glitch. No, Atari is a real company.
• 1:17:22
  Let's let's just clear the air. Atari is a company.
• 1:17:24
  They exist. It's like a guy I guess, who
• 1:17:26
  like owns the license or something.
• 1:17:28
  I don't. Know one guy?
• 1:17:30
  It might be I don't know how many employees they have, but I
• 1:17:32
  but. Maybe 2?
• 1:17:34
  I've been, I've had this the Atari stock on my tracker for
• 1:17:37
  like a couple years. Just I don't know, I forget what
• 1:17:40
  got me like looking at it, some statement from like the the guy
• 1:17:45
  who owns it or whatever. Bought a bank slip, you know,
• 1:17:49
  over the counter. I didn't buy anything.
• 1:17:51
  I didn't buy anything. I've just been, I've been
• 1:17:52
  looking at it and it's usually between like 12 and like $0.20.
• 1:17:59
  And I've thought a lot of times about like, yo, I could just
• 1:18:01
  because it does fluctuate throughout the year.
• 1:18:03
  So like I can just buy it 12, sell it 20.
• 1:18:05
  What? This isn't financial advice, by
• 1:18:07
  the way. Anyway, the point of the story.
• 1:18:10
  Is that? Is that yesterday it went up to
• 1:18:14
  like $26? What?
• 1:18:18
  There's a glitch. It had no, you know what it was,
• 1:18:21
  it was somebody like. Pump and dump scheme wasn't it?
• 1:18:25
  If somebody made a mistake dude, somebody put in a buy or
• 1:18:28
  something for like that. Maybe it's I don't believe these
• 1:18:31
  glitches but like anyway. Did you make money?
• 1:18:37
  That's what you I was going to. I don't.
• 1:18:39
  Think you owned any? No, I I have like some like
• 1:18:42
  video game stuff like stock trackers that I just like look
• 1:18:45
  at. I'm not like a stocky person,
• 1:18:47
  but got me thinking about this company is the IG that we're oh
• 1:18:53
  that we've all in some in. A they did a reverse stock
• 1:18:58
  split. That wasn't a glitch.
• 1:19:00
  Atari. Yes, it was A100200.
• 1:19:04
  But no. But it dropped back down.
• 1:19:05
  Now it's back down to like 12 cents or.
• 1:19:07
  Whatever, because now it it. I'll explain later how stock
• 1:19:12
  splits work to you. They did a reverse stock split.
• 1:19:16
  Yes. They've not just the stock.
• 1:19:18
  They bought the stock back. They bought back a lot of stock
• 1:19:23
  is what you're saying. It it's merging.
• 1:19:26
  They're stock G value. OK I see how this ties back to
• 1:19:29
  to CIG and and Star Citizen but explain it to everyone else I.
• 1:19:34
  I'm giving you, I'm giving you. I'm giving you an anecdote, is
• 1:19:37
  my point. I'm just giving you an anecdote.
• 1:19:40
  It's not we. Weren't going to go on this
• 1:19:42
  trip. You should have asked us to pack
• 1:19:44
  our bags. All right, let's go.
• 1:19:46
  It's past my bedtime. Listen.
• 1:19:48
  Hurry up. Oh cow didn't know by we're
• 1:19:52
  we're going like 3 hours tonight.
• 1:19:54
  We the cig. I got a.
• 1:19:56
  Drive to me. Is a company that we've all in
• 1:19:58
  some kind of way invested in. American.
• 1:20:02
  Speaking all right from. Manner of speaking, we've
• 1:20:05
  invested for our our our future entertainment now CIG.
• 1:20:07
  Is currently. Well, CIG is currently a private
• 1:20:12
  company and let's say Cloud Imperium Games is like, all
• 1:20:16
  right, we're going to stop selling ships and we're going to
• 1:20:19
  like figure out a new way to monetize this game.
• 1:20:22
  But in the meantime, we're going to offer shares.
• 1:20:26
  And you know who we're going to offer them to 1st?
• 1:20:29
  Our backers. Not just our backers.
• 1:20:33
  What are the guys who pay $1000 or more?
• 1:20:36
  Concierge. Concierge gets first the Fuji
• 1:20:40
  people in a private offering of CIG stock.
• 1:20:44
  How do you react? Of course, How do you how do you
• 1:20:49
  react to this news? Pay to win, that's what it is.
• 1:20:53
  Rich get richer. Problematic.
• 1:20:57
  Citizen. Any type of citizen.
• 1:21:00
  Scam citizen. So they're, so they're going
• 1:21:02
  public. I guess.
• 1:21:05
  I guess. They're going public.
• 1:21:07
  But they have an initial offering and they're offering to
• 1:21:11
  people who've already, because you've already paid so much
• 1:21:14
  money into the game, you know, they could say that you like
• 1:21:17
  you, you've kind of invested in it.
• 1:21:18
  So they're giving you an initial offering.
• 1:21:21
  So that's called private stock sales and those are probably one
• 1:21:26
  of the absolute worst possible things anyone could ever invest
• 1:21:29
  in because. No financial advice hobo.
• 1:21:33
  So I I am not a financial advisor.
• 1:21:35
  This is not financial advice, but for love of God, don't do
• 1:21:39
  private stock sales because there's no regulation
• 1:21:42
  whatsoever. And you?
• 1:21:43
  Well. Hold on.
• 1:21:43
  A scam. OK, well, but this isn't a scam.
• 1:21:49
  This is Chris Roberts. And Chris Roberts would never
• 1:21:51
  scam his community. Yeah, we we trust Chris Roberts.
• 1:21:54
  That's. Exactly.
• 1:21:56
  Hey, first of all, look. Get that out of your head.
• 1:21:59
  Hold up, hold up. You need to consider the big
• 1:22:01
  risk here because you're talking about a private stock sale of a
• 1:22:05
  game that Wicket plays. Yeah.
• 1:22:09
  This is a terrible. Idea.
• 1:22:11
  This is just. Like I said, super risky.
• 1:22:14
  Your money is just going to be gone.
• 1:22:17
  Listen, look, I'm going to explain to you exactly what's
• 1:22:19
  going to happen if that were ever to occur.
• 1:22:22
  Monday, the private stock sale. The following Monday, the
• 1:22:27
  company goes public. That afternoon of the following
• 1:22:31
  Monday, where the company actually went public, $0.10 in
• 1:22:36
  China owns the company. It'll be the Saudis.
• 1:22:41
  The Saudis are fucking. Back, no, it'll be 10 cent.
• 1:22:44
  It'll be some $0.10 or some Alibaba or some China China
• 1:22:49
  company. China.
• 1:22:50
  China. China.
• 1:22:53
  Would would CIG going public? Do you think that would ruin the
• 1:22:58
  game? Yes, yeah.
• 1:23:01
  Oh, definitely. Yeah, and that's also why I
• 1:23:04
  don't think Chris Roberts would do that.
• 1:23:06
  If he croaks and someone else takes over, that's a concern,
• 1:23:10
  'cause, right? I mean, that's one thing.
• 1:23:11
  I was in their position selling out.
• 1:23:13
  Hey, I mean. Wasn't that one of the biggest
• 1:23:16
  mantras early on? You know, we're not going to be
• 1:23:19
  beholden to publishers. We're only going to be holding
• 1:23:21
  talk to each other, to our backers.
• 1:23:25
  No investors, no publishers, no gods, no kings.
• 1:23:28
  Just Chris Roberts. Wow, I feel like there's a
• 1:23:33
  there's a contradiction in that statement.
• 1:23:38
  Don't think about it what you're talking about.
• 1:23:39
  He he's he's first citizen. Son of a bitch.
• 1:23:51
  All right, well look guys, we've had some new cool ships coming
• 1:23:54
  out. What is your favorite ship that
• 1:23:55
  you've seen so far or that you think maybe it hasn't been
• 1:23:58
  released yet but that you think it's going to be coming out at
• 1:24:00
  Defence Com favorite ship and will you buy it?
• 1:24:03
  Cosmic Kobo. Yeah matey, I will at least I
• 1:24:08
  will at least buy ACCU for it and I'll make a chain for it and
• 1:24:12
  I will most as long as it doesn't completely suck even
• 1:24:16
  I'll probably get it. I've wanted a new origin ship
• 1:24:18
  for ages. Is it going to be war, Mom?
• 1:24:22
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:24:23
  So you got this is we're talking new money.
• 1:24:26
  Yeah. Murphy, Jack.
• 1:24:31
  Yeah, matey, so far. No, come on.
• 1:24:35
  I listen that. Sorry, I'm sorry.
• 1:24:37
  Now you do what you. Want or whatever it is, is, it's
• 1:24:41
  going to be a novelty. Lord, a new bitch.
• 1:24:46
  What's your favorite ship? But announced them?
• 1:24:49
  Will you buy it? Yeah, I got to say the the M80I
• 1:24:55
  mean it looks, it looks. Wow.
• 1:24:57
  Hell yeah. We're on a streak wicket.
• 1:25:01
  Well for me it'll be the Ironclad Assault because I
• 1:25:04
  bought it from a guildy and I already own it so I'm finally
• 1:25:07
  going to get to use it. There you go.
• 1:25:10
  Hello org member. Yes, a fellow.
• 1:25:13
  A Guild mate in Italian. The terrible goose Goose.
• 1:25:20
  What's? Favorite ship and will you buy
• 1:25:23
  it? I don't know if I'm really
• 1:25:26
  planning on buying anything at this one.
• 1:25:27
  I might grab a cheap CCU up to a ironclad or something just to
• 1:25:32
  have it like in my backlog in case I want to do something, but
• 1:25:36
  I'm not really seeing anything that I want to buy off the top
• 1:25:38
  of my head just yet. Not a Starlight.
• 1:25:43
  No, I'm not. Refueling wasn't my gym jam.
• 1:25:46
  It's like, it's neat, I'm glad it's there, but I haven't it.
• 1:25:49
  It doesn't scratch the edge. Brock and Rob, thank you.
• 1:25:56
  I'll probably grab a Starlight just for the novelty, but then
• 1:26:00
  melt it. I've already I'm already sitting
• 1:26:01
  on an ironclad. I am interested if the pit
• 1:26:04
  bull's going to be any good the acceleration wise.
• 1:26:08
  So I'm kind of hoping they just continue with the Mirai copying
• 1:26:13
  and make a racing version of it. Then that could be fun.
• 1:26:20
  So I guess pit ball. OK, you're, you know, you're in
• 1:26:24
  the minority there. Brock the Rob.
• 1:26:26
  Yuck. What about the M80?
• 1:26:28
  You're the contrarian. I am excited for the M80 but
• 1:26:31
  everyone else said the M80 there.
• 1:26:33
  You. Go.
• 1:26:34
  So I figured I'd bring up bring up something a little, you know.
• 1:26:39
  Oh, so you don't really want it? Oh, I want it.
• 1:26:42
  No, no, you've. Shown your hand.
• 1:26:45
  That's an Origin ship, right? The M80, yes.
• 1:26:48
  The M80, Yeah. What's what's the the common
• 1:26:51
  denominator for all orange origin ships?
• 1:26:55
  What? Luxury they.
• 1:26:57
  They all look good, they all have clean looking lines, and
• 1:27:01
  they all suck. It's true.
• 1:27:03
  Oh. Hey, what's the what's the
• 1:27:06
  difference between a vacuum cleaner and a Drake ship?
• 1:27:12
  Where do you put the dirt bags? Sucks.
• 1:27:17
  I. Mean the position of the dirt
• 1:27:19
  bag is the difference. You tell me what 5X sucks?
• 1:27:23
  Hold on, hold on. Let's give.
• 1:27:25
  Let's give Skeeter a shot. Skeeter favorite ship and will
• 1:27:28
  you buy it? Favorite ship Drake Kraken I
• 1:27:34
  could I could never buy the Kraken is.
• 1:27:36
  Completely out of reach for. Me.
• 1:27:37
  He's going to have one before the year's over.
• 1:27:40
  You know. Even Christmas, that's what.
• 1:27:42
  Even in game I think it's going to be so hard to get.
• 1:27:45
  It's just forever going to be out of reach and I'm just going
• 1:27:47
  to have to live vicariously through others, which is fine.
• 1:27:50
  I only have one pledge ship and I have no intention.
• 1:27:54
  Of what's your pledge ship a Shiv?
• 1:27:58
  I've slowly upgraded it over the years.
• 1:28:01
  I started out with an Aurora and periodically I I went from
• 1:28:05
  Aurora to a 325, then to a Cuddy and then to the ship.
• 1:28:11
  I don't really don't see myself upgrading.
• 1:28:15
  I look y'all know how I feel about the ship.
• 1:28:17
  We've talked about it. I love the ship, love everything
• 1:28:20
  about the ship is great, especially the bucket.
• 1:28:24
  It just needs a lid. Yeah, yeah, Duke Lato the second
• 1:28:28
  my Co host my friend LL. LL the M80 hell yeah, just
• 1:28:37
  because origin hasn't gotten much love in a long time and you
• 1:28:42
  know a lot of it like basically every ship of theirs that's come
• 1:28:45
  out in a while has had glaring issues and people want reworks
• 1:28:50
  and etcetera etcetera. So I'd I'd kind of like to see
• 1:28:53
  them release a ship that's that's just good.
• 1:28:57
  You know, I want to see, I want to see what the current ship
• 1:28:59
  team and the current pipeline can do with an origin ship.
• 1:29:05
  And no, I will not own it. Yeah, OK, Yeah, yeah.
• 1:29:11
  There you go. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
• 1:29:13
  This is a show Now. We didn't actually talk about
• 1:29:15
  the patch. I said at the top of the show we
• 1:29:17
  talked about the patch. So if you guys are willing,
• 1:29:20
  we're going to go a little bit beyond time here.
• 1:29:21
  And I do want to talk about specifically from those people
• 1:29:24
  who have played the 4.8 patch. I know there is a trench run.
• 1:29:28
  We can spoil it anyone? Anyone have anything about the
• 1:29:34
  new 4.8 patch duping? Is gone.
• 1:29:42
  Pretty excited about ship components and that actually
• 1:29:45
  turning into a viable profession.
• 1:29:51
  Tactual strike group serve it. Wasn't duping, it was crafting.
• 1:29:56
  You got you guys played the new patch right?
• 1:30:00
  Murphy Hobo. We haven't played recently OK to
• 1:30:07
  see if they'd cleaned up tactical strike groups much, but
• 1:30:12
  I mean the. Sounds really unimpressed.
• 1:30:16
  Well, it's just the finale for tactical strike groups is
• 1:30:20
  disappointing. It mirth compared it to ASD
• 1:30:24
  facilities in the past or projects up here on specifically
• 1:30:29
  where you go through all this cool stuff and then it just kind
• 1:30:32
  of ends on a on a flat note. The whimper.
• 1:30:37
  Yeah. Because the game.
• 1:30:39
  'S breaking. It's like playing a like AD and
• 1:30:43
  D game where the DM didn't think out the ending really well.
• 1:30:47
  Yeah. I think the ending was supposed
• 1:30:50
  to be something else but the tech just didn't get there yet
• 1:30:54
  and they may go back and revisit the in the future so you know.
• 1:30:59
  Did they maybe just did they maybe not fully release it and
• 1:31:03
  to allow it to play out when it? Goes well.
• 1:31:05
  I did. They did.
• 1:31:08
  They just didn't. Think it was.
• 1:31:10
  I think it was 95% intended. What we saw it was just one part
• 1:31:17
  didn't really wasn't fighting back.
• 1:31:21
  So. But even if it did, like, I
• 1:31:23
  don't know, I I don't know what they could.
• 1:31:25
  Do the game is there, it just didn't work.
• 1:31:27
  Is that what you're saying? No, it worked.
• 1:31:30
  I I mean it, it worked. This was in, this was in early
• 1:31:32
  PTU. So the fact that the ship didn't
• 1:31:34
  fight back is not a big thing. Even if it did fight back, it's
• 1:31:39
  still a little bit of a like we just did all this crazy like
• 1:31:45
  racing through the trench run and everything and then fighting
• 1:31:50
  a ship like you do on any other mission.
• 1:31:53
  It was just. Maybe they maybe they can add
• 1:31:56
  another giant. Sorry, Yeah.
• 1:31:59
  Go ahead. Maybe they can add another giant
• 1:32:01
  snake like creature with that. Yeah, that's that's exactly.
• 1:32:05
  More snakes. Always missing more.
• 1:32:07
  Snakes, yeah. Space Valcar.
• 1:32:09
  Space Valcar. Waving his his his Jedi hand
• 1:32:14
  across the game right now. More space.
• 1:32:16
  Mm hmm. I, I do think the ending was
• 1:32:20
  supposed to be a little more complex in that there's a
• 1:32:24
  hanger, you go, you can go to the hanger that the, this is
• 1:32:28
  mild spoilers, but you escort a ship near the end and I think
• 1:32:33
  you were supposed to actually fly into that hangar and get the
• 1:32:37
  hostages like they showed in the trailer back during Citizen Con.
• 1:32:43
  I think the tech for that just wasn't there for NPCS to escort
• 1:32:48
  an order around. But the idea was you bring in
• 1:32:51
  your ship, you load them up with NPCS and you've got to get that
• 1:32:54
  ship out away from like a bubble, a quantum introduction
• 1:32:58
  bubble, and then you escape. And that would be more
• 1:33:02
  interesting because you're more engaged instead of an escort
• 1:33:04
  mission where the escort mission is putting aside the fact the
• 1:33:09
  NPCS were broken and brain dead, but it wasn't.
• 1:33:14
  Again, early PTUI think that would have been more engaging is
• 1:33:18
  you're actually you have people to protect and do things with
• 1:33:22
  instead of an NPC ship that just it goes on a rail pretty much
• 1:33:28
  so. You know, interestingly enough,
• 1:33:31
  I think Nintendo patented the escort NPC mission and that may
• 1:33:36
  be what's holding them. Up I would imagine Ubisoft does
• 1:33:38
  it because freaking Ubisoft mission it's like oh you got to
• 1:33:41
  check the NPC or EA you had to protect the NPC.
• 1:33:45
  So funny you mentioned Ubisoft to bring it back before Ubisoft
• 1:33:49
  and Atari. Ubisoft is going to develop some
• 1:33:52
  like Atari titles and that was what happened that day.
• 1:33:55
  The stock went up writing off that millennial and Gen.
• 1:34:00
  X and style drugs. I don't think Ubisoft is the
• 1:34:04
  developer to put any faith in to be honest.
• 1:34:06
  But don't go. No, yeah, that was fucking
• 1:34:10
  French. Ubisoft.
• 1:34:14
  Ubisoft, you're insulting Mr. Latol here, whose family
• 1:34:20
  operates He's a toll roads in France and.
• 1:34:24
  He is a Duke. My apartment.
• 1:34:26
  Honestly, what a good business. Operator.
• 1:34:30
  To move. Oh, they.
• 1:34:31
  Want to go to place a? Place we don't move.
• 1:34:35
  In how do? You get the baggage without
• 1:34:39
  going through at all. I will charge them to move.
• 1:34:44
  Only €15. Oh, he.
• 1:34:47
  Still use France? Alright, Duke.
• 1:34:49
  Are you with us, Duke? I'm here, I'm with us.
• 1:34:53
  I, you know, I was talking with someone in proximity voice
• 1:34:58
  again. It's it's weird that you guys
• 1:35:00
  said it wasn't working because it's working well.
• 1:35:03
  I'm just thinking, dude, because we're doing French accents, so I
• 1:35:05
  think we can start to wind this down.
• 1:35:09
  For sure. OK, OK.
• 1:35:11
  He's got that one right there. Yeah, and Duke.
• 1:35:15
  Duke has. He doesn't want people to know,
• 1:35:16
  but he has an old dog. No, she's young.
• 1:35:20
  She's very young. Oh, you said she was
• 1:35:23
  convalescent. Yeah, she was.
• 1:35:26
  She tore her ACL. She had a a sports injury, which
• 1:35:31
  by the way, really expensive. So definitely get some pet
• 1:35:34
  insurance if you have a dog. Yeah.
• 1:35:37
  Yeah, my boss's dog just got rushed and needs like a blood
• 1:35:41
  transfusion and everything and a couple days in there and he's
• 1:35:44
  just like, I'm so glad I got that.
• 1:35:46
  Yeah, worth it. Dog blood.
• 1:35:49
  I hope that dog is not Jehovah's Witness.
• 1:35:53
  They can't do blood transfusions.
• 1:35:56
  That that is. Did anyone ask the dog?
• 1:35:58
  I don't know, I think they asked the dog.
• 1:36:01
  Yeah, hey, from what I understand, the dog is the dog's
• 1:36:04
  a Methodist, so well ask. The committee then.
• 1:36:09
  It's a fucking Protestant. Fucking proves.
• 1:36:13
  Fucking Protestant. Protestant hole.
• 1:36:15
  All right, well, this is this is the end of the show.
• 1:36:17
  We're we're running out of people here.
• 1:36:18
  We're losing them left and right.
• 1:36:19
  They're flying off like flies. So here's what we're going to
• 1:36:21
  do. We're going to do what we
• 1:36:22
  usually do. We're going to go around
• 1:36:24
  backwards, backward order of what you came in and how Jar Jar
• 1:36:28
  Jar Bernie remembers it, but I'm not going to do it today.
• 1:36:31
  Duke, Duke, you're going to do it.
• 1:36:34
  What a I'm going to do, OK. All right, veritable Hatter, do
• 1:36:40
  you have anything you want to say to Chris Roberts, the people
• 1:36:42
  at CIG, or the Internet? Lord, as always, I have no idea
• 1:36:49
  what to say here to Chris Roberts because his mind is
• 1:36:53
  ineffable. Just please, please don't fuck
• 1:36:56
  this up. Please, dear God.
• 1:36:59
  Oh God. Fair, fair.
• 1:37:04
  Mercury Jack, do you have anything you want to say to
• 1:37:07
  Chris Roberts, CIG or the people on the Internet?
• 1:37:10
  Yeah, 'cause Roberts announced Squadron 42.
• 1:37:12
  And to the people, grab your pitchforks.
• 1:37:15
  Get ready if they don't. Oh.
• 1:37:18
  We're going to revolt. What we're throwing, we're
• 1:37:21
  throwing down the glove. The God of Yeah, that's.
• 1:37:23
  What gets Murphy Jack to go out in the streets?
• 1:37:28
  Yeah, yeah, they had early Squadron 42.
• 1:37:34
  Yeah, I'm just going to. No, never mind, never mind.
• 1:37:36
  Whatever it takes, Wicket, please, please, please please,
• 1:37:43
  please wicket. Don't.
• 1:37:45
  Just don't. Just.
• 1:37:45

• 1:37:49
  anything? You want to say to Chris
• 1:37:51
  Roberts, CIG or the people on the Internet excluding those
• 1:37:55
  names? No, you can't do.
• 1:37:57
  You can't do that. This is this.
• 1:37:59
  This, what I have to say, goes specifically to one person and
• 1:38:03
  one person only. All right, go ahead.
• 1:38:05
  Sandy Roberts. No.
• 1:38:10
  Please, for the love of God and all that is space holy, don't
• 1:38:14
  let Chris Roberts sell the company to China.
• 1:38:19
  Thank you. Yeah.

  Fair. All right, blue friend, load
• 1:38:27
  Anubis. Is there anything you'd like to
• 1:38:29
  say to Chris Roberts, CIG, or the people on the Internet?
• 1:38:34
  Yes, people of the Internet have faith because they are getting
• 1:38:39
  this game done and they're going at a good pace.
• 1:38:41
  And eventually it will be the game that you wanted, the game
• 1:38:45
  that you saw and that you watched all these videos about,
• 1:38:48
  and it will happen. You will see it has turned into
• 1:38:50
  Star Wars Galaxies because we've been waiting 23 years for this
• 1:38:54
  to happen and it is finally near.
• 1:38:58
  OK, optimistic. I like it.
• 1:39:02
  Cosmic Hobo, my towel toading companion.
• 1:39:07
  Is there anything you'd like to say to Chris Roberts, CIG, or
• 1:39:09

• 1:40:10
  Hold on, hold on. I'm.
• 1:40:11

• 1:40:29
  together and you couldn't even manage to get yourself fucking
• 1:40:32
  arrested? Dude, listen, I, I Duke, I was
• 1:40:38
  coming. I was coming back for you.
• 1:40:40
  I mean, obviously to get you out.
• 1:40:42
  I had to be out for the plan to to succeed.
• 1:40:45
  You never went in. You never went in.
• 1:40:47
  Duke, what are you holding? What am I holding?
• 1:40:51
  Duke. Don't I think it?
• 1:40:53
  I think it might be a Duke. No, Duke, don't do that.
• 1:40:55
  Duke, stay away. It's an explosive turtle.
• 1:40:58
  Watch out, it's a blue shell. That's it.
• 1:41:02
  We we've officially become a bit, you know how he is, right,
• 1:41:08
  Duke? I thought you were gonna.
• 1:41:10
  You didn't. You didn't commit, though.
• 1:41:11
  I thought you were gonna try to stab.
• 1:41:12
  Me. No I with a turtle.
• 1:41:15
  Then why make me feel bad? All right, Duke.
• 1:41:17
  Stab you with a turtle. It's round, it's dull.
• 1:41:20
  I would bludgeon you. You bludgeon someone with a
• 1:41:23
  turtle. They can bite people.
• 1:41:24
  Stab them with like a like a toucan, I guess.
• 1:41:30
  Yeah, A. Toucan.
• 1:41:32
  Who can you can with the toucan With the toucan?
• 1:41:38
  That's how you're playing this out.
• 1:41:40
  That's how I'm playing this out. What the?
• 1:41:41
  What the hell? Wait, what?
• 1:41:43
  What? No, I, I was doing a mission.
• 1:41:47
  I was doing a cargo mission and I just landed and my, my whole
• 1:41:52
  bee has, has retracted, OK? It's shrunk like a, like a
• 1:41:57
  frightened turtle on a cold day and my stuff's all gone.
• 1:42:03
  Listen, I'm playing this out. I've got faith.
• 1:42:07
  Of the heart go with my hunger, change me, I.
• 1:42:15
  Believe. It's worse every week, Duke.
• 1:42:18
  Can do anything there we. Go of the soul the.
• 1:42:24
  Charger is going to screw all this up.
• 1:42:28
  Sounds just like what's going to happen.
• 1:42:31
  No, this is what's going to happen to defense.
• 1:42:34
  Con It's going to happen. Just like this in misery.
• 1:42:37
  Anything. Did it?
• 1:42:38
  Did it not stop? No.
• 1:42:42
  He just. He just went to the audience the
• 1:42:45
  the bots. Still.
